GREENWOOD, Ind. College Sports Communicators (CSC, formerly CoSIDA) announced on Tuesday afternoon its 2024-25 Academic All-District® At-Large teams, a listing that includes Western Colorado's
Dean Noble and
Sage Harrison from the Mountaineer wrestling program on the NCAA Division II awards list.
Submitted by an institution's CSC-member athletics communications personnel, nominees for CSC All-District® consideration must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.50 and must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically. Wrestling nominees must have been in the varsity lineup for at least 70 percent of team scoring events (tournaments, duals).
The At-Large program includes nominees from the NCAA championship sports of men's and women's fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, and water polo; men's championship sports in volleyball, and wrestling; and women's championship sports in beach volleyball, bowling, crew/rowing, and field hockey.
Both Noble and Harrison have been selected by the CSC committee to advance onto the Academic All-America® ballot.
Noble, a redshirt senior who in May earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in business administration and a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise & Sport Science, finished his academic career with a 3.506 grade-point average.
He concluded his final season in 2024-25 with a 22-5 record and a fourth-place finish in the 149-pound bracket at the NCAA DII wrestling championship, earning his second consecutive All-American honor.
Noble is a 2024 and a 2025 National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) Scholar All-American, and in May was named Western Colorado athletics' Paul Wright Award winner, presented annually to the top male and female senior athletes based on a combination of athletic accomplishments, scholarship, and character.
Harrison just completed his redshirt junior year with a cumulative GPA of 3.868 as a business administration major with a business law minor.
Voted to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference All-Academic First Team in 2024 and 2025, Harrison closed out his most recent season with an 18-11 record and placed fourth in his weight bracket (197) at the NCAA DII Super Region VI Championship. Harrison, too, earned NWCA Scholar All-American honors in 2024 and 2025.
