    Henriksen named to ESPN the Magazine academic team

    Augustana College wrestler Cody Henriksen has been named to the 2006-07 ESPN the Magazine Men's At-Large College Division Academic All-District VII First Team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

    The College Division consists of schools from NCAA Divisions II and III, as well as NAIA schools.

    Henriksen, a senior from Arlington, S.D., carries a 3.74 grade point average as a biology and philosophy major. Earlier this month, Henriksen was one of 29 male student-athletes who participated in winter sports to be awarded an NCAA postgraduate scholarship.

    Henriksen was a three-time All-American for the Viking wrestling team, posting a 73-33 career record in the process. A three-time All-North Central Conference performer, Henriksen placed third at the 2007 Division II National Championships at 174 pounds after accumulating a 25-8 record. In 2006, he placed fourth at nationals at 165 pounds, after finishing sixth at 165 pound in 2005. That season, the Vikings were the national runner-up.

    A two-year captain, Henriksen was a three-time NWCA All-Academic team selection. In addition, he is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is a student mentor and is a volunter at Children's Care Hospital.

    After graduation, Henriksen plans to attend dental school.

    As an academic all-district first team selection, Henriksen moves on to the national ballot for possible selection to the Academic All-America Teams.
