Torgerson closed the regular season with a third-place finish at the Rocky Mountain Open after earning a trio of pinfall victories.

The RMAC Summit Awards is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA that is also competing at the site of the finals for their sport’s championship. For sports that do not have a RMAC Championship event, the regular-season winner will produce the Summit Award winner. All GPAs are based on a straight-grading scale to ensure consistency among nominees. All ties are broken by the total number of credit hours completed through the most recently concluded semester.
