Men's Fencing Matches School Record With Six All-Academic Honorees

DETROIT -- The 2024-25 Wayne State University men's fencing team matched its previous school record with six GLIAC All-Academic honorees with all six earning a spot on the Excellence Team. This is the sixth year the GLIAC has recognized student-athletes from non-GLIAC sports with Academic All-GLIAC accolades.

Criteria states the student-athlete must be an active member on the roster at the end of the season, and not a freshman or a first-year transfer student.

Grade-point averages listed are calculated through the fall semester since that was the last grading period before the season ended.

Sam Garrett, Jr., San Francisco, Calif., Marketing, 3.75 (second straight year on the All-Academic Excellence Team)
Mitchell Gatrell, Jr., Livonia, Mich. / Churchill, Finance, 3.59 (second straight year on the All-Academic Excellence Team)
