Ryan Knoll and Rebekah Muhlenkamp earned the honor. Written By: Brainerd Dispatch | × Central Lakes College banner. Kelly Humphrey / Brainerd Dispatch Two Central Lakes College students were named to the Phi Theta Kappa All-Minnesota USA Academic Team. Ryan Knoll, Bertha, and Rebekah Muhlenkamp, Swanville, earned the honor. The All-Minnesota USA Academic Team was introduced 26 years ago to honor and recognize two-year college students for their leadership, academic achievement and community and college service. In 1994, state academic teams were introduced as a way to provide scholarships and scholastic recognition to Phi Theta Kappa members while promoting excellence at two-year colleges. The state academic teams are a division of the Academic All-American Team for Community, Technical, and Junior College Students, an international program sponsored annually by Phi Theta Kappa, USA Today, and the American Association of Community Colleges.
