Huffine honored

Recent University of Tennessee at Chattanooga accounting graduate Jake Huffine, the school’s starting 133-pound wrestler in 2018-19, has been named to the Google Cloud Division I academic all-district men’s at- large team, as voted by the Collegiate Sports Information Directors of America. The at-large label covers fencing, golf, gymnastics, hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo and men’s volleyball in addition to wrestling, so many students were considered.
