Congratulation to Justin Arthur for being selected as the first TriStateScores Student/Athlete of the Week for the week of February 9th 2014! Justin graduated from Huntington High School in 2013 as a 3 time West Virginia state champion with a 142-15 record while wrestling for Coach Robbie Archer at Huntington High. Justin was the 2013 champ at 138 pounds, compiling a record that year of 30-2, and receiving the WV Most Valuable Wrestler award. Justin was also state champ in 2012 at the 138 pound limit with a 40-2 record, and in 2010 was state champ at 119 pounds with a 39-3 record. He placed 3rd in 2011 with a 33-8 record at the 130 pound limit. Justin landed at Clarion University after the recruiting process, a noted powerhouse of wrestling in the NCAA through the years. Justin is having a great freshman season at his weight class of 149 pounds, with a record of 23-7 with seven pins. He is 25th in the WrestlingReport/Henry Rankings, No. 24 in the NCAA Division I rankings as of Feb. 3 and No. 2 in the EWL. Justin is characterized on the mat as Extremely talented, Outstanding mat wrestler, and One to watch, he has all the tools. I actually had the opportunity to watch Justin at the youth soccer level, playing against athletes who were all a little older than he was. To say that it is no surprise to see Justin excel as a freshman against bigger, stronger athletes at Clarion is an understatement. I saw him do that a few years back on the soccer fields at Virginia Point in Kenova, WV. His personal favorites? When it comes to food, he loves steak, ribs, chicken and fries. He loves all types of music. His favorite sports teams are the Cincinnati Bengals and the New York Yankees. Justins favorite athletes are George St. Pierre and John Jones, both professional MMA fighters. Justin is the son of Kerry and Charleaha Arther, has two sisters Kaytlin and Jaydin, and a brother Garrin. Continued success Justin, and congratulations on being selected the first Student/Athlete of the Week for TriStateScores! The Student/Athlete of the Week award at TriStateScores is designed to recognize and give exposure to the hard working youth, middle school, high school and college athletes in the Tri-State area that have devoted the time, energy and passion for their sport that has, or will, take them to the next level should their desires and talent take them there.
