STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State wrestlers Anthony Collica and Dean Heil were recognized as members of the National Wrestling Coaches Association's All-Academic Team, the NWCA announced this week.
Two-time NCAA qualifier Collica, who went 26-11 on the season, is earning his second-consecutive honor as a member of the academic squad.Â
All-American and NCAA fourth-place finisher at 141 pounds Dean Heil was named to the team for the first time in his career.
They were two of 118 student-athletes to earn the recognition. Heil is one of 28 All-Americans on the list.
"The NWCA All-Academic Team and Individual Team is one of the best acknowledgements that we can give to our coaches and athletes at the end of a physically grueling season" said NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer. "These young men have proved that they are not only talented competitors but are leaders in the classroom as well. The NWCA Board of Directors and staff look forward to watching these student-athletes continue their success at the collegiate level and eventually as the leaders of the future once they earn their college degrees."
