BOONE, N.C. — App State had a league-best 22 wrestling student-athletes make the 2020-21 Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll that was released Thursday.
That total contributed to the Mountaineers posting a semester GPA over 3.0 as a team during a year in which they set a school record with seven NCAA Championships qualifiers, including five who earned a top-20 seed and one All-American in Jonathan Millner (149 pounds). With five conference champions in 2021, the Mountaineers tied NC State and Arizona State for the lead in Division I wrestling.
The honor roll members were highlighted by two wrestlers, Kobe Early and Brett Mordecai, who made the list for Commissioner's Medals that are awarded to student-athletes who attain a GPA of 3.
