Bradford, Pa. -- The National Wrestling Coaches Association released their Scholar All-American list on Wednesday, and University of Pittsburgh at Bradford wrestler Colton Gietler was honored by the association for his success on the mat and in the classroom.

Gietler was one of 418 wrestlers across Division III to earn the honor. He is the second-ever Pitt-Bradford wrestler to receive this award after Tyler Newton earned it in 2021-22.

"We are extremely proud of Colton and all he has accomplished as part of the program," said coach Terry Schwab. "He was a leader for us on the mat, in practice, and in the classroom."

To be recognized for this award a wrestler must maintain a 3.2 GPA and win 60% of their matches during the season. Gietler finished the season with a 23-10 record while maintaining a grade point average well over the required minimum.
