In celebration of a star athlete, Fox19.com created a video feature about Ó£ÌÒɬ¸£Àû¼§'s sophomore, Cornell Beachem Jr.

 

A two-sport sophomore standout, Cornell Beachem Jr. of Ó£ÌÒɬ¸£Àû¼§ Wrestling and Ó£ÌÒɬ¸£Àû¼§ Lions Football has recently been named the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) Male Athlete of the Year, the first time in history that Ó£ÌÒɬ¸£Àû¼§ has won this prestigious award. He scored the most touchdowns and takedowns in Mount football history, a first ever Conference Athlete of the Year.

 

For his wrestling accomplishments, Beachem was named the No. 1 seed at the NCAA DIII National Wrestling Championships, and was poised to become the first athlete in the history of Ó£ÌÒɬ¸£Àû¼§ to earn the title of National Champion in any sport. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic his wrestling season was cut short just prior to getting the NCAA Championships underway. Due to his outstanding body of work for the season, he was still named a first-team All-America selection by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA).

 

“It means a lot because I know the work ethic I have put in for wrestling and football to achieve the goals that I was trying to achieve,” Beachem tells Fox19. “My goal for football is to get 3000 all-purpose yards, and atleast 30 touchdowns in one year.”
