MANHEIM, Pa. – The Olivet College wrestling team and 10 individual wrestlers have garnered 2020 National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) academic honors. With a 3.504 team GPA, the Comets are ranked No. 16 on the NWCA Division III Top 25 Scholar All-American team list.

The 10 individual Scholar All-Americans are seniors Andre Bourlier and Frank Mercurio, juniors Adam Hall, Cameron Mahlich and Trevor Piggott, sophomores Liam Kinjorski, Owen Miller, Reese Wallis and Dominick Wilson, and freshman Owen Guilford. Mahlich is now a three-time NWCA Scholar All-American, and Kinjorski, Miller and Wallis are two-time honorees.

The 10 wrestlers are among 265 individuals representing 75 institutions on the list of honorees. To be eligible, the student-athlete must have a 3.20 or higher GPA and meet one of three criteria: qualify for the NCAA Championships, place in top six at the NCAA qualifier, or win more than 66 percent of matches and wrestle in 50 percent of scheduled dates.
