Harrogate, TN -- Lincoln Memorial men's wrestlers James Thaxton and Holden Corbin have been named the Juice Spot Co-Railsplitters of the Week following outstanding championship performances on the mat. Thaxton dominated the 165-pound weight class, starting his day with a 13-0 major decision victory over his opponent from Montevallo that featured a first-round takedown and a four-point nearfall. The senior advanced to the finals after outlasting his Keiser opponent in a seven-minute semifinal match, securing the win via fall late in the final period. In the championship bout, Thaxton rallied from behind against a wrestler from Lander, executing a crucial reversal, a pin, and accumulating riding time in the final frame to claim a 7-5 decision and the first individual title of his collegiate career.

Corbin delivered an equally impressive run to earn his shared weekly honor. After receiving a first-round bye, Corbin pinned his quarterfinal opponent from Emmanuel in just 57 seconds. He maintained that aggressive momentum in the semifinals, taking down his opponent from Keiser University with another fall victory in just 1:38. In the championship match, Corbin faced the Lander wrestler who had previously eliminated his teammate, but Corbin dominated the bout and needed only 1:04 to pin his opponent. The victory secured the top spot on the podium for Corbin, building on his third-place finish from the previous week at the ESU Open and capping off a dominant, record breaking performance for the Railsplitters.
