The White Hawks had four All-Conference wrestlers in Cole Munsterteiger, Jack Nelson, Cooper Rowe and John Seemann. The team earned the Academic Gold Award from the Minnesota Wrestling Coaches Association (MWCA) with a 3.73 team GPA.  The top 10 GPAs from the section team were used, and wrestlers contributing were: Cole Munsterteiger, Eric von Holtz, Mason Merritt, Cooper Rowe, Jack Nelson, Levi Hays, Colter Applegate, Delaney Parker, Gabe Brown and Daniel Wechter. Cole Munsterteiger and Jack Nelson earned MWCA Academic All-State honors, and Nelson was awarded one of eight MWCA senior scholarships awarded in the state.

The White Hawks wrestling coaching staff would like to thank all of the parents, administration and members of the Mound Wrestling Organization (MWO) for all of their contributions throughout the year. 

“We had an outstanding year and have built a solid program, and a lot of credit needs to go to our parents," said assistant coach Eric Rodelius. "They have done a tremendous job supporting their kids and contributing to the program."
