    McCormick earns honor for third consecutive year

    Columbia, Mo. -- Recent Missouri graduate Tyler McCormick (Leawood, Kan.) was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Seven Men's At-Large Team as announced today by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The accolade is the third straight for the Tiger wrester who carried a 3.95 cumulative grade-point average through his senior year.

    A two-time All-American, McCormick received a degree in business management and was recently awarded one of 29 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. McCormick finished his collegiate wrestling career with a 77-43 record. Wrestling at 133 pounds, McCormick took 2008 Big 12 runner-up honors after knocking off then No. 1 ranked Coleman Scott of Oklahoma State and Oklahoma's Brian Shelton before falling to Iowa State's Nick Fanthorpe in the title match.

    McCormick is a three-time ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American, three-time National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) All-American in Academics and four-year Academic All-Big 12 First-Team honoree.

    This marks the fifth straight year that at least one Missouri wrestler has been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Seven Men's At-Large team. Kenny Burleson, a letterwinner at 157 pounds from 2001-04, was awarded the honor in 2004, with McCormick recognized each year since.
