COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference released their all-conference teams for wrestling this morning (Mar. 24). Adams State had four wrestlers named to the team including the conference's top honor.
 
Isaiah De La Cerda was honored and he was joined by Jonathan Andreatta, Noah Hermosillo and Manuelito Casias.
 
"They have all put in time offseason and in the classroom and it is good to see their hard work pay off," said Grizzly Head Wrestling Coach Jason Ramstetter after hearing of the awards.
 
Adams State redshirt junior Isaiah De La Cerda was named the RMAC Wrestler of the Year after he earned All-American honors at last week's NCAA Division II Championships. De La Cerda finished in seventh place in the tournament. In addition, De La Cerda was the 125-pound Super Region Champion. De La Cerda finished the 2020-21 season with an 9-3 overall record with two technical falls and two falls.
 
Redshirt junior Jonathan Andretta was named to the All-RMAC First Team after he finished the season with a 7-1 season record that included four falls. He finished in third at the NCAA Division II Super Regional tournament. Due to COVID-19 participation restrictions, he narrowly missed out on advancing to the NCAA Championships.
 
"The whole season itself was challenging," said Ramstetter. "The reduced competition dates and qualifications hurt everyone in the region as it did us."
 
Noah Hermosillo, a redshirt junior, was also named to the All-RMAC First Team as he was an All-American at the NCAA Championship with a sixth-place finish. He joined De La Cerda as a Super Regional Champion. Hermosillo finished with a 10-3 overall record including two falls and he went 1-1 in overtime matches.
 
Redshirt junior Manuelito Casias was named to the RMAC Academic First team as he boosts a 3.41 GPA and is majoring in English and Secondary Education. Casias finished the season with a 1-6.
 
The All-RMAC honors were nominated and voted on by the conference head coaches while the Academic All-Conference honors were nominated and voted by the conference's Sports Information Directors. To qualify for Academic All-Conference honors a student-athlete must have a 3.3 GPA or higher and compete at a varsity event during the season.
