    Minnesota Athletes of the Year Brett Pfarr and Sarah Wilhite
    This past season Pfarr finished runner-up at the Big Ten Championships, and two weeks later became Minnesota's first national finalist since 2014. He led the Gopher wrestling team in almost every major category: wins, dual wins, conference wins, wins over ranked opponents, dual points scored and average tournament placement.

    In addition, Pfarr was awarded the Male Outstanding Student-Athlete Achievement Award in honor of his success both in the classroom and in wrestling. He is set to graduate with honors this spring with a degree in agricultural and food business management.

    Pfarr and All-American heavyweight Michael Kroells both earned the Top Five Award, which recognize the five highest grade point averages by male and female student-athletes. Kroells also received a Big Ten Postgraduate Scholarship.

    NCAA finalist Ethan Lizak was a finalist for Minnesota's male breakthrough athlete of the year.
