STILLWATER – Oklahoma State wrestler Dusty Hone is one of 89 student-athletes given the 2020 Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award, the Big 12 Conference announced Wednesday. It is the conference's highest academic honor.
The award is in memory of Lage, who served as the Oklahoma State faculty athletics representative with the NCAA and the Big Eight/Big 12 Conference from 1983 until his death in 2007. The award is in its 10th year and has recognized 780 student-athletes from across the conference in that time. This year Oklahoma State earned the second most honorees with 12.
Lage had been a member of the Oklahoma State family since 1966, when he joined the College of Business Administration as an assistant professor. During his tenure at OSU, he served as the director of graduate studies in the department of economics (1974-77), head of the department of economics and finance (1978-84), director of the OSU Center for International Trade and Development (1985-87) and associate dean for research and graduate programs in the college of business administration (1997-2004).
In order to be eligible for the accolade, student-athletes must have lettered at least once in their career while maintaining residence at their institution for at least one academic year. The honoree, which can only be recognized once, should have 100 hours of earned credit with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.80 at the time of the nomination.
The Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Achievement Award recipients' names will be featured on the video board at the Phillips 66 Big 12 Basketball Championships, scheduled for March 11-15 at the Sprint Center and Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City.
Hone is a junior at Oklahoma State majoring in psychology. He started every dual this season for the Cowboys at 141 pounds, compiling an 18-8 overall record with two ranked wins.
