03.02.2017 | Men's Wrestling
IRVING, Texas – The Big 12 Conference announced today that three Iowa State wrestlers have earned Academic First-Team All-Big 12 honors. Redshirt seniors Gabe Moreno and Carson Powell, as well as Colston DiBlasi were tabbed as first-team members.
To be eligible for first-team accolades, athletes must meet the minimum threshold of competitions, while maintaining a GPA of 3.2 or better.
For Moreno, this is the fourth time the Urbandale, Iowa, native was on the first team. He'll be graduating with a degree in Psychology.
This is the first time that DiBlasi and Powell have earned first-team honors. DiBlasi, who has tallied a team-high 22 wins this season, is majoring in Mathematics. Powell will graduate with a degree in Kinesiology, and plans to attend medical school after graduating in the spring.
You can catch these conference scholars, as well as the other Cyclone wrestlers at the Big 12 Championship this weekend in Tulsa, Okla. The tournament will open with first-session action on Saturday, March 4, at 11 a.m.
