Bonus State Stats

  • New Jersey and Illinois tied with the most All-Americans this year with eight apiece. 
  • This was the first time New Jersey and Illinois tied for the most AAs going back as far as 2000. In 2001, both Garden State and the Land of Lincoln tied Pennsylvania and Minnesota for second with seven AAs each. Ohio had eight that year. 
  • Illinois also had eight All-Americans in 2023 and 2022, however, they have never had more than seven prior to 2022 going at least as far back as 2000. 
  • New Jersey has had more AAs in the past as recently as 2019, when they had 10 AAs, though that was only good for second place. 
  • Pennsylvania typically has more All-Americans than any other state, but this season had only six, which was good for tying Wisconsin for third. 
  • Pennsylvania has never been anything but at least the second most productive state when it comes to All-Americans going back to 2000. Ironically, this historical third-place finish happened at an NCAAs held in Philadelphia. 
  • More podium placers came from Pennsylvania than any other state in the six NCAAs held prior to 2025. In 2017, Ohio broke up another long streak of PA supremacy by having 10 AAs to Pennsylvania’s two.

  • In 2021, Pennsylvania had 10 more AAs than the next most productive state, which was Illinois with seven placers. 
  • Wisconsin, who had no All-Americans between 2017 and 2019, had at least three All-Americans for the fifth year in a row. 
  • America’s Dairyland produced just five All-Americans from 2012 through 2018. From 2021 to 2025, Wisconsin produced 22 All-Americans (and untold amounts of cheese). 
  • Six is the most Wisconsin All-Americans since at least 2000. The previous high water mark for which we have records was five Wisconsin AAs in 2007. 
  • 2025 was tied with 2017 as the second-most geographically diverse NCAAs, with 31 different states (or countries) being represented on the medal stand in Philadelphia, a number also reached in 2017. 
    • The most geographically diverse NCAA was 2024, when 32 states or counties reached All-American status. 
  • Lachlan McNeil was the only international wrestler to make the podium. The Tar Heel three-time All-American is from Canada. 
  • Minnesota produced five All-Americans, the most from the Land of 10,000 Lakes since 2001, when they had seven. 
  • Minnesota is now on a 17 tournament streak of producing at least two All-Americans. 
  • Five Iowans climbed the podium steps in Philadelphia, the most since 2017 when they also scored five AAs. 
    • Iowa notched four AAs the previous two NCAA tournaments, marking a mini renaissance after only registering one All-American in both 2021 and 2022. 
  • States that have had at least one All-American since 2000 include PA, NJ, IL, MN, IA, OK, CA and OH. 
  • Georgia continues their push to become a power state. The Peachtree State had three All-Americans, the most since at least 2000. 
    • Georgia has had multiple All-Americans in the last three NCAAs. Since the year 2000 the only other time there have been multiple Georgians wrestling on Saturday of NCAAs was 2002. 
    • From 2006 to 2011, Georgia produced zero NCAA All-Americans. All three Georgia AAs from 2025 have at least one more year of eligibility. Big things are happening in Georgia!
  • Ohio is in the midst of a relatively fallow period. Four All-Americans is nothing to sneeze at, the Buckeye State produced seven AAs last season, but they are still down from a recent stretch from 2013 to 2018 where they averaged just over 10 AAs a year over that six year stretch. 
    • Ohio had more AAs than any other state as recently as 2017, when they produced a nation-leading 10 All-Americans. 
  • Oklahoma also produced four All-Americans, tied for seventh place among states. 
    • That was the most Oklahoman AAs since 2018 when there were five. It also marks the ninth consecutive tournament with double digit Oklahoma AAs. 
  • Michigan is also tied for seventh place in 2025 with four All-Americans.
    • That makes 20 tournaments in a row for the Mitten State where it produced multiple All-Americans. 
    • Two of those All-Americans wrestled for Oklahoma State, Caleb Fish and Cam Amine, both of whom were wrestling for Michigan schools last season (Michigan State and Michigan, respectively). 
  • Rounding out the top 10 with three All-Americans is Indiana, which tied the aforementioned Georgia for tenth place in the nation. 
  • Utah had more than one All-American for the first time since 2013.
  • Nebraska has two AAs for the first time since 2009. The Nebraska Cornhuskers had one of those native Nebraskans (Antrell Taylor) and one of the native Utes (Brock Hardy). 
    • In fact, all eight of the 2025 Husker All-Americans hail from different states (FL, ID, IN, NC, NE, OH, PA & UT). 
  • Illinois and New Jersey both had eight AAs but only one wrestler from each state represented a school from their home state (Trvor Chumbley for Northwestern (IL) and Sammy Alvarez for Rider (NJ)). 
  • Owen Trephan became South Carolina’s first podium placer since 2017 when he finished fifth for Lehigh. The last AA from the Palmetto state before Trephan was TJ Dudley, who placed third for Nebraska in 2017. 
  • Texas had their first All-American since 2021 when AJ Ferrari placed third for CSU-Bakersfield. The last AA for Texas was AJ Ferrari placing first for Oklahoma State.
  • Virginia Tech’s Connor McGonagle was the first All-American from New Hampshire since Eric Bradley placed 8th for Penn State in 2006 at 184lbs. 
  • No AAs for Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island or Vermont, but New England did get a second top-eight placer when Tyler Knox placed fourth at 133, the same weight as fellow New Englander McGonagle. 
  • Just once All-American for California, Zeth Romney’s fourth place at 133 for Cal Poly. The Bear Flag Republic has produced multiple AAs at every other tournament since at least 2000. 
  • Jacob Little was the lone AA from Kentucky for the second year in a row. Kyle Ruschell in 2010 was the last Kentuckian AA before Little.
  • Jacob Frost joins his twin brother Evan Frost as a rare Louisiana All-American. Evan earned AA honors last season for Iowa State, where Jacon also attends. 
    • The last AA from the Bayou state before either Frost brother was David Bonin in 2013, who placed fourth for Northern Iowa. 
  • But what about champs? Wisconsin and Illinois both had two champs: Mitchell Mesenbrink and Stephen Buchanan for Wisconsin at 165 and 197 and Vincent Robinson and DJ Hamiti for Illinois at 123 and 174. 
  • There was one champ from Ohio (Lucas Byrd at 133), Indiana (Jesse Mendez at 141), Idaho (Ridge Lovett at 149), Nebraska (Antrell Taylor at 157), Pennsylvania (Carter Starocci at 184), and Kansas (Wyatt Hendrickson at 285). 
    • Pennsylvania has now had at least one champ at every tournament since 2016.

Olympic Gold Medalist Benita Fitzgerald Mosley to Speak at the Falk College Convocation May 10 — Syracuse University News

At the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Benita Fitzgerald Mosley won the gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles by 4/100th of a second over the favorite, Shirley Strong from Great Britain.

five athletes are pictured jumping over hurdles at an Olympic event. They are competing on a track, and there is green grass and stands full of spectators behind them.

At the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Benita Fitzgerald Mosley won the gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles by 4/100th of a second over the favorite, Shirley Strong from Great Britain.

Olympic gold medalist and visionary executive Benita Fitzgerald Mosley says it has been her lifelong mission to help people win gold medals in business—and in life.

“My gold medal is the gift that keeps on giving,” Fitzgerald Mosley says. “I am forever grateful, so I want to pay that gift forward.”

To get there, Fitzgerald Mosley highlights five “Olympic rings” to help people achieve their goals: Have a good start, set high goals, run your own race, power through hurdles and have a strong finish.

“You have to ask yourself, why not me?’’ Fitzgerald Mosley says. “Why can’t I be the best in the world at what I do?”

From becoming the first African American woman to win the 100-meter hurdles at the 1984 Olympics to her current role as chief executive officer of Multiplying Good, Fitzgerald Mosley has persistently broken barriers and advanced the idea that sport has the power to inspire and change the world.

Her enormous impact as a results-oriented leader in the Olympic, non-profit, and corporate worlds is why Dean Jeremy Jordan asked Fitzgerald Mosley to be the keynote speaker at the Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics Convocation at 12:30 p.m. May 10 in the John A. Lally Athletics Complex.

“Benita’s ‘why not me?’ message encourages us to challenge societal expectations and embrace our potential, while Multiplying Good is helping people bring about positive change and inspiring them to do more,” Jordan says. “The life lessons and insights that Benita will share May 10 will provide valuable inspiration to our graduates and all of us.”

Using Fitzgerald Mosley’s five Olympic rings, here is her remarkable story:

Have A Good Start

Fitzgerald Mosley often uses a quote from former American politician and motivational speaker Les Brown, who said, “You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.”

three runners have intense looks on their faces as they compete in a track-and-field event in the Olympics. In the background, spectators can be viewed in the stands.

After trying gymnastics and softball, Fitzgerald Mosley started running track in the seventh grade and soon became a star hurdler.

Fitzgerald Mosley’s parents, Fannie and Rodger Fitzgerald, were both educators and they encouraged Fitzgerald Mosley to get started in as many extracurricular activities as possible in their hometown of Dale City, Virginia. By participating in gymnastics, softball, majorettes and track, and learning the piano, violin, flute and piccolo, Fitzgerald Mosley discovered what she loved and was good at and where to focus her attention.

“They were very supportive and stood by me in every aspect of my life,” Fitzgerald Mosley says of her parents. “They celebrated my every achievement, large and small, and I loved to make them proud.”

While she became the first chair flute for the Gar-Field High School symphonic band, Fitzgerald Mosley says she wasn’t very good at softball and grew too tall to be a gymnast. But middle school physical education teacher, family friend and gymnastics coach Gwen Washington was also the coach of the track team and when it became obvious that Fitzgerald Mosley had outgrown gymnastics, Washington suggested she join the track team because she had seen Fitzgerald Mosley outrun the boys in gym classes.

“So I went out for the track team and started winning races from the very beginning,” Fitzgerald Mosley says. “It wasn’t until I was 12 years old and in the seventh grade that I even discovered my athletic prowess.”

Set High Goals

As a high school freshman sprinter and hurdler, Fitzgerald Mosley helped the track team win its fourth consecutive Virginia state championship. She was a teammate of senior Paula Girven, who represented the United States in the high jump in the 1976 Olympics and qualified for the team in 1980. Their high school track coach, Anne Locket, also led the girl’s gymnastics and basketball teams to state championships.

Falk College 2025 Convocation Speaker Benita Fitzgerald Mosley meeting with students.

During a visit to Falk College in early April, Benita Fitzgerald Mosley met with students to share her experiences in the sport industry.

“Coach Locket said to me, ‘You know, you can be an Olympian someday just like Paula,’ and I looked at her like she was from Mars,” Fitzgerald Mosley says, smiling. “But having a coach believe in you and say that to a youngster at 14 years old, it set me up for great things to come.”

By 1980, Fitzgerald Mosley was 18 and already a track star—and an industrial engineering major—at the University of Tennessee, where she would become a 14-time All-American and four-time NCAA hurdles champion. Like Girven, she made the 1980 Olympic team but didn’t participate because the United States led a boycott of the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Fortunately for Fitzgerald Mosley, she was still in college and had the benefit of having access to coaching, training equipment and the highest level of competition in college. This was a time when Olympic athletes were strictly amateurs who couldn’t make money off their athletic achievements, and many athletes who qualified for the 1980 Games, like Girven, weren’t able to return for the 1984 Games.

“At that point, people didn’t have these long careers spanning three and four and five Olympic Games that started with my generation because they started to allow us to make money while we were competing,” Fitzgerald Mosley says. “The two other hurdlers that were on the Olympic team with me in 1980 didn’t make it again in 1984, so that was their one and only chance to be an Olympian.”

DENVER – University of Denver Athletics announced today that men’s hockey coach David Carle has signed a multi-year contract extension, furthering his commitment to the program’s success in the near and long-term future.
 
At the helm of the program for the past seven seasons, Carle has led the Pioneers to 179-74-17 overall record and his career .694 winning percentage is presently the highest all-time among DU hockey coaches. He guided Denver to the 2022 and 2024 National Championships and four NCAA Frozen Four appearances (2019, 2022, 2024, 2025), joining Murray Armstrong as the only Denver coaches to reach the national semifinal four times in a six-year stretch (no tournament in 2020). 
 
“I am honored to have the University’s support for our hockey program over the last seven years and into the future,” said Richard and Kitzia Goodman Denver Hockey Head Coach David Carle. “Without their support and the support of our fans, alumni and donors, nothing that we have accomplished would have been possible. The resources we have established have had a direct impact on the daily lives of current and future Pioneer hockey student-athletes, and we continue to raise the bar for success with these commitments. 
 
“I am grateful for Chancellor Jeremy Haefner, Chairman John Miller as well as the entire Board of Trustees and Vice Chancellor of Athletics Josh Berlo for their continued support of and investment in Denver hockey to ensure we maintain our position as the best college program in the country. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with our student-athletes, coaches, administration, alumni, supporters and fans over the coming seasons. Denver is home for me and my family.” 
 
The Denver hockey program continues to be resourced at a high level with support from Athletic and University administration and in large part due to record philanthropy and increased revenues. Over the last several years, elevated support for the program include enhanced team travel, full Alston Award benefits for student-athletes, expansion of and investment in the coaching staff, as well as new lighting, seats, boards and glass at Magness Arena to improve the fan experience. 
 
“We are thrilled to have David continue to lead the exceptional legacy that is Denver hockey,” said Josh Berlo, Denver Vice Chancellor for Athletics and Ritchie Center Operations. “His dedication and passion are second to none, and we look forward to furthering our partnership and building upon our NCAA-record 10 national championships as the most accomplished college hockey program all-time. The Carle family commitment, along with the support of our university leadership, students, alumni, donors, season-ticket holders and fans, empowers the program to continue to chase competitive and academic excellence year in and year out.” 
 
Along with the extension, Carle is also committing to a multi-year major gift pledge to support current and new initiatives within the hockey program. Carle will be the first Denver Athletics head coach to join the department’s Gold Standard Society. His gift will directly support the Murray Armstrong Hockey Student-Athlete Enhancement Fund and the Athletics Excellence Fund.
 
“Our program is tremendously grateful for the support we have received from our fans, alumni and donors. In today’s changing college athletic landscape, we are grateful for philanthropy and season-ticket holder support more than ever to help our program stay at the highest level,” says Carle. “The legacy of Denver hockey wouldn’t be where it is without the foundation laid by coach Murray Armstrong. My family and I are honored to support the Murray Armstrong Fund and become members of the Gold Standard Society with the signing of this agreement. I would invite others to honor Murray’s legacy and support current and future initiatives of Pioneer Hockey at a time when it is as crucial as ever.”

The support by the university, fans, alumni, and donors has led to an unrivalled level of success since the turn of the century. With their 10 national championships being the most all-time, the Pioneers have won five titles, reached eight Frozen Fours, have 19 NCAA Tournament appearances and 623 total victories since 1999-00.
 
Denver hockey has won at least 20 games in each of the last 23 full seasons, the longest active streak in the NCAA and extending their school-record “Tenzer Streak.” Over the last four years, Denver has won 30 or more games—the longest such stretch in program history and the longest since Michigan in the 1990s (1990-1998)—to go along with their three Frozen Four berths and two national championships in that time.
 
Carle’s 179 wins rank fourth in Denver hockey history, and he is three away from tying Ralph Backstrom for third place on the program’s all-time list. The Pioneers have reached the NCAA Tournament in each of the five full seasons with Carle leading the bench, with DU posting a 12-3 record in national tournament outings and making it to four Frozen Fours. Carle owns an 83-49-11 mark in National Collegiate Hockey Conference play and helped DU capture the 2022 and 2023 Penrose Cup as regular-season champions and the 2024 Frozen Faceoff Trophy as conference tournament champions.
 
Since 2018-19, Carle and the Pioneers own a perfect 7-0-0 record against Big Ten Conference programs and have an 18-7-1 mark against opponents from the Hockey East Association. Against NCAA “Power Four” schools, Denver has a 21-6-1 record in those matchups.
 
The Anchorage, Alaska, native became the fourth-youngest coach in history to win a D-I national title in 2022 (32 years, 5 months, 0 days) and is the youngest ever to win two national championships following the Pioneers’ NCAA-record 10th victory in 2024 (34 years, 5 months, 4 days). He is the 20th coach in NCAA history to win multiple national championships and was the first to do so since Scott Sandelin of Minnesota Duluth (2011, 2018, 2019).
 
This past season in 2024-25, Carle and the Pioneers went 31-12-1 and reached the NCAA Frozen Four for the second-straight year after opening the campaign with wins in each of its first 12 games—the best start in program history. The season-opening stretch was part of an overall 21-game winning streak that dated back to March 9, 2024 and went through Nov. 16, 2024—the longest across multiple seasons in school history and one shy of tying the longest overall winning streak at Denver (22, Jan. 5-March 16, 1968).
 
In addition to his responsibilities at DU, Carle has guided the United States National Junior Team in each of the past two years and helped the Americans win consecutive gold medals at the 2024 and 2025 IIHF World Junior Championships. It was the first time that Team USA had won consecutive World Junior Championships and marked the sixth and seventh titles in the country’s history. Carle is the only U.S. coach to win multiple World Juniors, and he and Marshall Johnston in 1977 are the only Denver bench bosses to lead Team USA at the World Junior Championship.
 
Named the ninth Denver hockey head coach in program history on May 25, 2018, Carle was 28 years old at the time of his hire and was youngest head coach in NCAA Division I men’s ice hockey. He first joined DU as a student assistant coach from 2008-2012 and later served four and a half seasons as a full-time assistant coach under Jim Montgomery (2014-2018), reaching two Frozen Fours and winning the 2017 national championship.
 
The University of Denver men’s ice hockey head coach is an endowed position by Richard and Kitzia Goodman. It was the first of five head coaching positions at Denver to be endowed (others include men’s lacrosse, men’s soccer, women’s gymnastics and alpine skiing).

Back Mountain Police Association hosts annual fishing event for children with autism

WYOMING — The Back Mountain Police Association held an inclusive fishing event Sunday at Frances Slocum State Park geared toward making the outdoor activity accessible and fun for children with autism.

At the event, which was held on the heels of Autism Awareness Month, kids and their families were provided with fishing supplies and snacks free of charge.

Experienced fishermen were paired up with each family to teach the kids how to fish and offer assistance whenever needed.

Special education teachers, behavioral health technicians and nurses were also among the volunteers.

Organizations like Parenting Autism United also helped out.

The event, in its second year, was held one day after the association’s 17th annual Rusty Flack Memorial Kid’s Fishing Day, which was open to all kids aged 5-12.

In addition to fishing, that event featured fire safety instruction and a K-9 demonstration.

Emily Baranowski, who helped organize Sunday’s inclusive fishing day, said 37 families had signed up to participate. There were also plenty of walk-ins, she said.

“I think it’s grown in popularity,” Baranowski said. “I’ve had people reach out to me asking when the event’s going to be and I’ve had teachers reaching out to ask if they can volunteer. There are even people asking how they can help make it bigger and better next year.”

Baranowski, who recently graduated from Misericordia with a Bachelor’s degree Elementary and Special Education, was inspired to organize an inclusive fishing day to help kids with special needs like her brother thrive.

“It’s so amazing when you see a student or a client or the person you’re helping do amazing things. I haven’t cried yet this year, but last year I bawled my eyes out because I was so happy,” she said.

The Back Mountain Police Association’s annual Kid’s Fishing Day has a special place in Baranowski’s heart because she used to participate when she was a younger.

“My dad forced me to come every year,” she said while laughing. “I just grew such a love for it. My senior year [in high school], we had prom the night before and I went to bed at 2 a.m and got up at 6 a.m. to come here the next day.”

Making sure kids with autism have the same opportunities as she did has been a rewarding experience, she said.

“It feels so full circle, if that makes sense. And it’s so nice that we’ve had so many different people from the community participate,” Baranowski said.

Sarah Smith, of Kingston, attended Sunday’s event with her daughter, Kenna, 9.

When asked how she liked fishing, Kenna proudly announced she already caught five trout.

“It’s nice because she can experience something new with help,” Smith said. “We couldn’t do something like this by ourselves.”

Ross Piazza, Back Mountain Police Association vice-president, said both weekend events were made possible by generous sponsors.

“Just the trout that we put in here alone was over $7,000 dollars. We stocked the lake with 1,100 trout,” he said.

Saturday’s turnout was huge, with over 200 children registering to participate.

“Ranch Wagon does the catering for us and I think they probably went through about 600 hot dogs,” said Piazza.

Even though Saturday’s event was open to all children, Piazza noted how important it was to have an additional day for children with special needs who might need more assistance.

“I have a grandson who’s on the spectrum. He lives up in Boston; he’s nine years old. So, I understand that some people might need more help,” he explained.

He continued, “Besides, any kid who gets a fish — it’s a big deal for them. Just to get one. So, we want to make sure they have the right bait on them and everything.”

The Society of Professional Journalists recognizes the best collegiate journalism in Region 1 with 2024 Mark of Excellence Awards winners.

SPJ’s Region 1 comprises Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania (Central/Eastern), Rhode Island and Vermont. First-place winners will compete at the national level among other MOE winners from the 12 SPJ regions. National winners will be notified in late spring.

MOE Awards entries are judged by professionals with at least three years of journalism experience. Judges were directed to choose entries they felt were among the best in student journalism. If no entry rose to the level of excellence, no award was given. Any category not listed has no winner.

School divisions are based on student enrollment, including both graduate and undergraduate: Large schools have at least 10,000 students and small schools have 9,999 or fewer students.

The list below details all Region 1 winners. If you have any questions regarding the MOE Awards, contact SPJ Manager of Publications and Awards Lou Harry by email.

North Allegheny stayed in State College after sweeping the Little Lions on Friday to take part in the State College Invitational on Saturday. The Tigers went 11-4 on the day, and rolled in bracket play claiming the State College Invitational championship.

NA went 5-1 in the first round of pool play winning the Pool D title over Pennridge, Central York and Altoona. In second round of pool play the Tigers battled to a 3-3 record, placing third behind Meadville and Northeastern. In bracket play, North Allegheny defeated Landisville Hempfield in the quarterfinals and took down Meadville in the semifinals before claiming gold with a win over Central Dauphin.

Brendan Moore led North Allegheny with 37 kills on the day. Will Robertson had 36 kills while Peter Bratich had 25. Matthew LaMay added 16 kills. Bratich led the Tigers at the net and service line with 11 blocks and seven aces. Elliot Swierczynski and Robertson had four aces while LaMay and Emmett Morris each had three. Robertson added seven blocks while Dominic Laswell had six. Morris had 44 digs defensively while Robertson added 34. Moore helped with 25 digs while LaMay added 22, Swierczynski had 19 digs and Josh Chou contributed seven. Swierczynski dished out 102 assists on the day while J. Chou had 15 helpers.
