Pack granted eligibility extension

South Dakota State University wrestler Cody Pack has been granted a sixth year of eligibility, NCAA officials announced Monday.

A three-time qualifier for the NCAA Division I Championships in the 157-pound weight class, Pack posted a 37-6 record during the 2014-15 season and finished one win away from becoming the first Jackrabbit wrestler to earn All-America honors in the Division I era. A native of Quincy, California, Pack has won two Western Wrestling Conference individual titles and has compiled an 80-30 record over the past three seasons.

“I am extremely happy for Cody and his family,” SDSU head coach Chris Bono said. “He really deserves this and I cannot wait to see him take advantage of this opportunity.”

Pack received the eligibility extension after being sidelined by injuries during his first two seasons (2010-11, 2011-12) as a member of the Jackrabbit wrestling program.
