Millikin University announced on Apr. 15 its wrestling team awards and varsity letter recipients for the 2025-26 season.

The recognition comes after a strong year in which Millikin’s wrestling program achieved a dual meet record of 15-4 and secured second place at the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) Championships. The team had six All-Conference performers, including individual champions Leno Campbell, Joey Jens, and Mateo Casillas.

Casillas was named the team’s Most Valuable Wrestler and also shared the Newcomer of the Year award with Kody Marschner. Other notable honors included Vincent Fiore receiving the 11th Man Award, Luke Kawa earning both Up & Coming Award and an 11th Man Award, Sabri Sino being recognized as Hardest Worker, Charlie Armstrong winning Most Improved, while several athletes were noted as CCIW All-Conference or champions.

The announcement listed all athletes who earned varsity letters this season across four levels—first through fourth letter—highlighting their class standing, hometowns or previous schools attended, as well as any additional accolades such as NCAA qualification or conference achievements.
