FARGO, N.D. – North Dakota State Wrestling had three student-athletes named to the 2022-23 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Men’s At-Large Team, the organization announced on Tuesday.
Seniors Jared Franek, Dylan Droegemueller, and McGwire Midkiff were the Bison student-athletes from wrestling selected to the CSC Academic All-District At-Large Team. All three registered at least a 3.6-grade point average.
Three generations of the Droegemueller wrestling family are hoping to get the chance to continue an impressive streak.
The Droegemuellers have coached in or wrestled in what is believed to be 55 consecutive state tournaments dating to the mid 1960’s.
COVID-19 could put that streak in jeopardy, as it’s uncertain if there will be a state tournament this season.
The run started with Ken Droegemueller. Watch/continue reading at ccxmedia.org →
