MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Central Michigan’s Justin Oliver was named to the Amateur Wrestling News 2016 All-Rookie Team.
Oliver, a freshman who wrestles at 149 pounds, earned All-America honors by placing seventh in March at the NCAA Championships at Madison Square Garden in New York.
He was the only freshman All-American in his weight class.
Oliver, who hails from Davison, started the 2015-16 season behind incumbent Colin Heffernan. An injury to Heffernan opened the door for Oliver, who went on to post a 32-7 record with four pins.
