EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) – The National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) has announced the 2020 Division III All-American teams with three Blugolds earning honors.
Jake Drexler (So. - Stratford) and Evan Lawrence (Jr. - Hugo, MN/Mahtomedi) each earned a spot on the Second Team. Drexler finished the shortened season with a 32-6 record at 149 while Lawrence was 30-6 at 174. Heavyweight Noah Carter (So. -Rochester, MN/Mayo) was named to the Third Team after finishing 20-11. All three earned a spot in the national championship.
Each year the NWCA recognizes the outstanding work of the DIII Student-athletes by naming the All-Americans based on their achievements in the national championship, however, this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic the championships were canceled. All-American honors were based on each wrestler's overall body of work through the regional tournaments and up to the national championships.
