Docken Named to Academic Team

Augustana College wrestler Jayd Docken of Winner has been named to the 10 member Capital One Academic all-district VII at large team.

The academic all-district team recognizes the nation’s top student athletes for the combined performances academically and athletically.

Docken will advance to the Capital One Academic all-America ballot where the first, second and third team academic all-Americas will be selected later this month. Docken is the fourth Augustana wrestler to earn academic all-district honors and the first since 2012.

Docken, a senior accounting major, has compiled a 3.50 grade point average and is a three time academic all-NSC honoree, a three time Division II wrestling academic honoree. Docken is a four time national qualifier and a two time All-America honoree posting sixth place finishes at the national championships sophomore and junior seasons.

He earned all-NSIC honors three times in his career, picking up first team honors after going 29-6 in 2015. Docken finished his career at Augustana with a 93-29 record on the mat.
