MANHEIM, Pa. (Mar. 12)- Saint Vincent freshman wrestlers Jonah McCoy and Logan Connolly were named Academic All-Americans by the National Wrestling Coaches Association.

To be honored with Scholar All-American distinction, wrestlers must meet one of two criteria in academics and wrestling. Academically, they must have an average GPA of 3.2 over the last 2 semesters or quarters or last 3 trimesters or a cumulative GPA of 3.2. On the mat, they need to either place in the top eight in the regional tournament or have a winning percentage greater than 66 percent in a minimum of 15 matches.
