COLORADO SPRINGS -
A quartet of Colorado School of Mines wrestlers have been named to the All-RMAC team for their performance on the mat in 2021-22.

The Orediggers had Grayston DiBlasi, Weston Hunt, and Anderson Salisbury land on the All-RMAC First Team, and Jack Damenti earned a second-team slot. The quartet led Mines to a 6-1 RMAC dual record as they were 8-2 overall.

DiBlasi was one of the nation's top freshman in 2021-22, qualifying for the NCAA Championships after leading Mines in wins at 26-7. The 141-pounder was a perfect 5-0 in RMAC duals as well. DiBlasi led Mines with 10 falls, and finished third at the NCAA Super Region VI Championships. He is the only true freshman to earn all-RMAC honors this year. 

Hunt earns First-Team All-RMAC honors for the fourth consecutive season at 285 pounds after finishing a decorated career with his third straight all-America honor. Hunt went 23-4 overall and 6-0 in RMAC duals, averaging 5.0 points per match in those duals. Hunt went on to finish fourth at NCAA Championships as he finishes a career that saw him win 78 matches (10th all-time at Mines) with 29 falls (third all-time), and his career .757 winning percentage ranks fifth in program history. Hunt was ranked as high as #3 by the NWCA this season.

Salisbury also wrapped up another all-America honor as he finished seventh at 184 pounds at NCAA Championships, his second straight podium. Salisbury earns his second consecutive First-Team All-RMAC nod after going 23-5 overall and a perfect 7-0 in RMAC duals, scoring 30 points. At 63-20 in his career, Salisbury holds the fourth-best winning percentage (.759) in Mines history. He was ranked as high as #4 by the NWCA this season.

Damenti anchored the middle of Mines' lineup at 165 pounds to earn his first career all-RMAC honor. The senior went 10-9 overall and 4-3 in RMAC duals scoring 13 points. He picked up wins against nationally-ranked Adams State and Colorado Mesa, as well as a bonus-point victory against San Francisco State. Damenti had four bonus-point victories overall this season.
