Princeton Earns NWCA Team Academic Honor as Five Tigers Recognized Individually
April 30, 2020 | Wrestling
Following a season that saw the Princeton wrestling team win its first Ivy League title since 1986 and earn a program-record four All-American honors, the National Wrestling Coaches Association recognized Tigers' strength in the classroom in addition to its accomplishments on the mat.
Princeton was included on the NWCA's list of 30 teams to receive Scholar All-American Team recognition, and five Tigers were among the 175 from across Division I to earn Scholar All-American honors.
Sophomores Patrick Glory, Quincy Monday, Grant Cuomo and Travis Stefanik and junior Patrick Brucki were Princeton's individual honorees. With most Princeton students formally choosing a major at the end of their sophomore year, the four sophomores are undeclared, while Brucki is a civil and environmental engineering major. All five were NCAA Championship qualifiers in 2020, and all five finished in the top six in their weight classes at the EIWA Championships, with Glory winning the title at 125, Monday finishing runner-up at 157, Brucki third at 197, and Stefanik and Cuomo finishing sixth at 174 and 165. All five were also All-Ivy honorees, with Glory as Princeton's first Ivy Wrestler of the Year since 1986 and Monday and Stefanik joining him on the first team, and Cuomo and Brucki earning second-team honors.
Brucki, Glory and Monday were all 2019 individual honorees, and Princeton's five such honors this season are the most in program history, surpassing the three from 2019 and three from 2017. Paralelling the program's growth in success competitively, 13 of Princeton's all-time 17 individual Scholar All-American honors have come in the last five seasons. Princeton has now appeared on the team list in five of the last eight seasons.
