Central College’s Zach Beekman and Theron Stewart have been named Scholar All-Americans by the National Wrestling Coaches Association.
To be eligible for selection, a wrestler must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher and meet one of three criteria: qualify for the NCAA Division III Championships, place in the NCAA qualifying tournament or win more than 66 percent of his matches.

Beekman, a 157-pounder, compiled a 10-5 record. He took runner-up honors at the Central Invitational and placed seventh in the Silver Division of the Augsburg Invitational. At 197 pounds, Stewart posted an 18-8 mark and finished third at the Central Invitational. He placed fourth at the MSOE Invitational and fifth at the Knox Invitational.
