BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Four Lehigh wrestlers have been recognized for their academic and athletic performance after receiving EIWA Academic Achievement Awards, formally announced Wednesday. Lehigh's honorees for the 2022-23 season include graduate student Tate Samuelson, senior Josh Humphreys and sophomores Jake Logan and Michael Beard.
Â
To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete must have earned a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20 and participated in the EIWA Championship or achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and qualified for the NCAA Championship through the EIWA. Lehigh's four honorees were among the 103 wrestlers recognized from the 17 EIWA member schools.
Â
Samuelson holds a 3.75 GPA in his technical entrepreneurship graduate program. He made the most of his lone season of competition for the Mountain Hawks, winning an EIWA championship at 184 and qualifying for the NCAA Championships for the fifth time in his career.
Â
Humphreys is recognized for the second consecutive season. He holds a 3.56 GPA as a management major. Humphreys won his third EIWA title at 157 last month in Philadelphia and followed that up with his second All-America honor after finishing in third place at the NCAA Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
Â
Logan is now a three-time recipient of the EIWA Academic Achievement Award. A finance major with a 3.55 GPA, Logan was Lehigh's entrant at 174 for the EIWA Championships and earned a spot on the podium with an eighth place finish.
Â
Beard receives the EIWA Academic Achievement Award in his first season in the brown and white. He is a political science major with a 3.18 GPA. Beard was the EIWA runner-up at 197 in 2023 and was seeded fifth at the NCAA Championships, where he finished one victory shy of earning All-America honors.
