    Hanisch, Fanthorpe earn Academic All-Big 12 honors

    IRVING, Texas –- Three Iowa State wrestlers have been named to the Academic All-Big 12 Conference team, the league office announced. Ben Hanisch and Nick Fanthorpe received first-team honors, while Cyler Sanderson was named to the second team. Hanisch receives the honor for the third time, while Fanthorpe and Sanderson are receiving the award for the first time.

    The academic all-league wrestling squad consisted of 13 first-team members combined with four on the second team. First-team members consist of those who have maintained a 3.20 or better GPA, while the second team are those who have a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA.

    Hanisch is a senior majoring in biochemistry and minoring in entrepreneurial studies and economics. The Waterloo, Iowa native is one of two Iowa State wrestlers to receive first-team honors on three occasions. The only other ISU grappler to earn such accolades was current associate head coach, Cody Sanderson, who earned the honor four times (1997-2000).

    Fanthorpe is a sophomore from Naperville, Ill., majoring in community and regional planning.

    Sanderson is a sophomore majoring in fine arts. He joins the likes of his three older brothers by earning Big 12 academic honors. Cody, Cole and Cael Sanderson all earned academic recognition at least once during their Cyclone wrestling career.
