Kent State was honored on Thursday by The National Wrestling Coaches Association for having the nation's second highest team grade point average. Additionally, five Golden Flashes were named to the NWCA All-Academic Team (PDF).
Fifth-year senior Stephen Suglio (Richfield, Ohio), juniors Anthony Tutolo (Concord, Ohio) and Kyle Conel (Ashtabula, Ohio), sophomore Tim Rooney (Columbus, Ohio) and redshirt freshman Nick Monico (Meadville, Pa.) all received the individual honor. Kent State was one of just six teams with at least five wrestlers on the All-Academic Team.
