ST. CLOUD, MN — 2019 Boyceville High School graduate Brock Schlough earned several honors while he wrestled for the Bulldogs.
A four-time WIAA state wrestling champion and the 2019 Wisconsin High School Athlete of the Year, Schlough has continued to add awards to his already impressive collection at the collegiate level.
The St. Cloud State freshman was one of nine wrestlers on the Huskies squad to be named to the 2019-20 National Wrestling Coaches Division II All-American team.
One of only 11 DII wrestlers in the nation to gain a perfect 4.00 GPA this year, Schlough is a technology management major at SCSU. He was 13-8 for the Huskies at 165-pounds in 2019-20.
A total of 267 student-athletes from 49 institutions nation-wide were honored in 2019-20. In order for a student-athlete to be recognized with this award, they must have a minimum 3.4 cumulative grade average on a 4.0 scale, with that benchmark at 3.2 for those who have qualified for the 2020 NCAA DII wrestling championships. The athletes must have also competed in a minimum of five dates of competition.
St. Cloud State finished season with a No. 1 ranking in the final NCAA Division II national poll. The Huskies were 16-0 overall and 8-0 in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference this season. The Huskies also finished in first place as a team at a Super 5 Regional.
The Huskies won the 2020 NWCA Division II National Duals title and also claimed its ninth consecutive NSIC championship. The Huskies qualified nine wrestlers for the Division II championships, which were cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Huskies head coach Steve Costanzo, who has led St. Cloud State’s wrestling program for the past 14 season which included DII National titles in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 along with runner-up finishes in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2018, was named as this year’s NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year.
As a team, St. Cloud State posted a 3.009 GPA, which just missed the NWCA’s top 20 ranking this season.
