KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Fort Hays State Wrestling had seven student-athletes named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll for the 2016-17 season. FHSU was the only school to produce recipients of the Scholar-Athlete Award with four, given to those that earn All-MIAA performance honors and have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5.
To be a member of the MIAA Academic Honor Roll, athletes must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher and have at least two terms of attendance at the certifying member institution, excluding summer terms. The MIAA honors newcomers of all sports in the summer after they have completed the two-term requirement.

Ball, Inman, and Tooley went on to qualify for the NCAA Championships, and Ball and Inman earned All-America honors. All four were top notch in the classroom as well.
