The following Gopher wrestlers were recognized:

  • Nick Davis

Three Gopher coaches shared the ACSS Partnership Award: men's head gymnastics coach Mike Burns, men's assistant basketball coach Jim Molinari and wrestling assistant coach Joe Russell. The award is presented to a member of the coaching staff in recognition of superior partnership with ACSS in support of student-athlete success.
