ERIE, Pa. - After an amazing 2011 in which he led the Mercyhurst football team to its first-ever PSAC Championship and its first-ever berth in the NCAA Division II tournament, and then led the men's lacrosse team to its first-ever National Championship, senior Ian Wild has been named the Erie Times-News Sportsman of the Year.
