Williams Baptist University has developed one of the nation’s top collegiate wrestling programs at the NAIA level, and four times, the Eagles have had the American Midwest Conference Wrestler of the Year. The latest to win the honor is Maleek Caton from Sherwood, who just finished his senior season in Walnut Ridge competing in the 285 pound weight class. But to get to that accomplishment, he had to wrestle another opponent that wasn’t on the mat: COVID-19. Maleek joined “The Drive with Brad Bobo” Friday to tell us how he got into the sport, his journey to WBU, and his battle with the virus.
