It's wrestling season and the Shore Sports Network has once again partnered with Elite Sports Physical Therapy to present our weekly Wrestler of the Week feature.

Each Monday, a poll will go up with nominees for the SSN Wrestler of the Week and the poll will run through Thursday at 10 a.m. The winner will be announced on Thursday afternoon.

As usual, our first poll will be based on results from opening day through the end of December because of the disjointed holiday schedules for many teams.

Scroll down to see the candidates and make your selection.
