The Winfield-Mt. Union boys’ basketball team showcased their success off the court this offseason when the Iowa High School Athletic Association honored them for their academics.

In the 2016-17 Achievement Awards the Wolves were a part of the Distinguished in Academic Achievement category, the highest academic honor for a team. Teams that qualify for this category must have an overall grade point average of 3.3 or above. The team average for WMU was a 3.37 GPA, fourth highest amongst all classes for boys’ basketball. The Wolves were one of 11 basketball teams that were recognized for their academic success.
