BOONE, N.C. — App State Wrestling had 16 student-athletes make the 2025 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 3.04 for the spring semester and possessing a cumulative GPA of 3.15.
The Academic All-SoCon recipients were
Chad Bellis,
Anthony Conetta,
Riley Edwards and
Kaden Keiser. Earlier this year, Bellis also was named to the CSC Academic All-District team for the second straight year 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 2024-25 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 two wrestlers — Conetta and Levi Andrews — 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, Bellis, Conetta, Edwards and Keiser, the other honor roll members for 2024-25 were, in alphabetical order:
Hunter Adams,
Oren Bost,
Tomas Brooker,
Jayden Dobeck,
Nick Grizales,
Aldo Hernandez,
Will Miller,
Kai O'Dell,
Gunnar Pool,
