WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - For the sixth time in program history and the first time since 2018, the Lycoming College wrestling team has earned National Wrestling Coaches Association Division III All-Academic Top 30 Team honors and a record group of five Warriors earned NWCA Scholar All-American honors, the organization announced.
 
To be eligible for the NWCA Scholar All-American award, a student-athlete must carry a cumulative GPA better than 3.20 or have earned a 3.20 GPA in the past two semesters and meet one of three criteria: qualify for the NCAA Championships, place in the NCAA Regional or win more than 66 percent of his matches.
 
First-year Kobin Karper (Boiling Springs, Pa./Boiling Springs), junior Wiley Kahler (Pottsville, Pa./Nativity BVM), sophomore Cooper Gilham (Bellefonte, Pa./Bald Eagle Area), sophomore Logan Bartlett (Lewisburg, Pa./Lewisburg Area) and senior Connor Fulmer (Catawissa, Pa./Southern Columbia) earned NWCA Scholar All-Americans, the first time in program history had five honorees, surpassing the mark of four set by the 2018 team.
 
The Warriors made an appearance on the NWCA Division III All-Academic Top 30 Teams list for the second straight year, as the team's GPA was good for 15th in the nation, the third-highest spot in program history.
