Dubbed "King of Holmes" by the Watauga Democrat, Appalachian State risk management and insurance senior Jon Jon Millner secured the SoCon Conference title for his weight class on Saturday, his fourth straight conference title at Holmes Center. This accomplishment seals a 41-0 career record for the senior in SoCon duals and tournament matches, the highest undefeated win total in the league's modern history. Millner will continue on to complete in the NCAA Championships in Tulsa March 16-18. Will Formato, Appalachian State risk management and insurance graduate and current MBA student at Appalachian, also is a "ranked wrestlers with the best [chance] of receiving an at-large [bid]" according to the Watauga Democrat. These student athletes helped Appalachian secure a Conference win with 103 points, besting all others by a large margin.
In addition to his athletic success, Millner is also academically involved. Millner is part of the Appalacahian State RIMS Challenge Team led by Dr. Lori Medders. The team has been selected in the Top 8 and will move on to compete for the RIMS title in Atlanta in early May.
