Nord highlights the squad as the only three-time honoree, while he is joined by Eidenschink, Ness, and Peterson who all make the team for the second consecutive season. First time honoree, Mellmer, makes the All-Academic team in his first season of eligibility.
All six wrestlers have seen time in the starting line-up this season, posting a collective 26-8 record in dual meets.
The Gopher contingent is part of 61 total wrestlers named by the Big Ten to the Winter All-Academic team.
