Tyler Hebig Named an Academic All-State Wrester

“Once again this year we have found some great students that just so happen to be great wrestlers as well,” said Dean Jennissen, MWCA All-State Academic Chairperson. The 2013 edition of the MWCA (Minnesota Wrestling Coaches Association) All-State Academic Team definitely fits this description.

This year’s team consists of 26 student-athletes with a combined GPA of 3.76. In fact 16 of the 26 had over a 3.90 GPA. Among them is Tyler Hebig of Mound Westonka High School.

The 26 honorees will be awarded plaques at the River Centre in St. Paul during the State Tournament.
