DALLAS – The National Collegiate Wrestling Association, in conjunction with the National Wrestling Coaches Association, honored 152 wrestlers with certificates this week recognizing them as its top student-athletes for the 2012-13 season. This season’s NCWA All-Academic Team contains scholars from 66 schools from the NCWA’s combined Division I and Division II ranks. The women’s division honored six student-athletes.
The coaches association sponsors the NCWA’s academic awards as well as those for the NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA.
“It’s always exciting for us to recognize our top scholars and student-athletes,” NCWA executive director Jim Giunta said. “We congratulate this year’s All-Academic Team for their fine work. As an association that is all about providing life opportunities through wrestling, the NCWA has a very high regard for those who achieve in the classroom as well as in competition. These are our future leaders.”
Central Florida and West Chester led the NCWA with six members each on the All-Academic Team, topping a list of an elite 12 schools that contributed more than one-third (56) of the honorees.
