2017 Apr 3

The New England Wrestling Association (NEWA) released its postseason honors Monday, and the Castleton University wrestling team, in just its first year as a varsity program, was well represented in both the athletic and academic awards.

On the academic side, Costa, Hale, and LaFlam were joined by nine other Spartans in earning spots on the Academic All-NEWA Team. To make the Academic All-NEWA Team, wrestlers must have made a major contribution to their team as well as currently carry a 3.3 grade point average or higher.

Among the 13 schools to place at least one wrestler on the Academic All-NEWA Team, Castleton finished third with 12 honorees, behind only WPI (22) and Williams (13). The other Spartans receiving the academic recognition include Joey Acerra, Joseph Galusha, Ryan Haff, Jeb Hodsden, James Kilgo, Mason Osborn, Nick Scott, Zach Veleas, and Nolan Viens.
