BOONE, N.C. — App State Wrestling had 21 student-athletes make the 2024 Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll and four student-athletes earn Academic All-SoCon honors.
That total contributed to the Mountaineers posting a team GPA of 3.09 for the spring semester and possessing a cumulative GPA of 3.12.
The Academic All-SoCon recipients were
Chad Bellis,
Cody Bond,
Tommy Askey and
Ethan Oakley. Earlier this week, Bellis also was named to the CSC Academic All-District team by the College Sports Communicators.
To be eligible for Academic All-SoCon recognition, student-athletes had to carry at least a 3.3 cumulative GPA at the conclusion of the spring semester and meet participation requirements during the 2023-24 season. Additionally, the student-athletes must have successfully completed at least three semesters at their institutions, making true freshmen and first-year transfers ineligible for inclusion.
The SoCon's Academic Honor Roll consists of student-athletes who achieve a 3.0 minimum GPA for the academic year while being a member of the final squad list during their sport's traditional season.
The honor roll members were highlighted by three wrestlers — Bond,
Levi Andrews and
Joe Zovistoski — who made the list for Commissioner's Medals that are awarded to student-athletes who attain a GPA of 3.8 or higher throughout the year.
In addition to Andrews, Bond and Zovistoski, the other honor roll members for 2023-24 were, in alphabetical order: Askey, Bellis,
