Wheaton, Ill. – Several Wheaton student-athletes have been
recognized for their efforts in the classroom by the CCIW. The Fall 2022 Dave Wrath Academic All-Conference Team features
111 Wheaton student-athletes. The
Dave Wrath Academic All-Conference team consists of sophomores, juniors and seniors from CCIW member institutions who achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or higher.
The Dave Wrath Academic All-Conference award is named after the former Augustana College athletics administrator. Wrath retired in June of 2021 as the Associate Director of Athletics for Media and Alumni Relations, serving the Vikings for 40 years. In addition to his duties at Augustana, Wrath served as the CCIW Sports Information Director from 1996 to 2005 and was instrumental in establishing the CCIW's Academic All-Conference Program in 2005. The 2022-23 academic year marks the first year that the award has been named after Wrath.
Two Thunder student-athletes earned recognition as the school's fall recipients of the
Jack Swartz Award.
Giovanni Weeks of the Thunder football team is Wheaton's male Jack Swartz Award recipient for the fall and
Alyssa Mantia, Weeks, a two-time All-American running back for the Thunder football team, is a Business/Economics major at Wheaton. Mantia, the 2022 CCIW Champion in women's cross country, is an Appied Health Science major at Wheaton.
The Jack Swartz Award is given to one male and one female athlete from each conference school at the conclusion of each of the three athletic seasons (fall, winter and spring). The honor is given by the CCIW and each of the eight schools in the league picks their own representatives. The winners from each school must earn a varsity letter in his/her sport and have a grade point average of at least 3.50. The award is named after the late Jack Swartz, a former Wheaton student-athlete, coach and athletic administrator who served as the first Commissioner of the CCIW until his death in 1998.
