Nine KU Wrestlers earn Scholar All-American Honors from NWCA

The Kutztown University wrestling team saw nine student-athletes claim Men's Scholar All-American honors from the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA).

To qualify for the Scholar All-American honor, a student-athlete must be an All-American at the 2025 NCAA DII National Championships with a 3.00 GPA, a national qualifier for the National Championships with a 3.25 GPA, or hold a 3.5 GPA after competing in four or more events throughout the 2024-25 season.

Individuals recognized with the NWCA Men's Scholar All-American honor include senior Andreo Ferraina (Nazareth, Pa./Nazareth), juniors Bailey Gimbor (Bernville, Pa./Hamburg) and Dalton Gimbor (Bernville, Pa./Hamburg), redshirt junior Hunter Horton (James Creek, Pa./Tussey Mountain), junior Wayne McIntyre (East Stroudsburg, Pa./East Stroudsburg North), redshirt sophomore Freddie Retter (Quakertown, Pa./Quakertown), redshirt senior Jimmy Ryan (Staten Island, N.Y./Monsignor Farrell), junior Alex Ward (Manassas, Va./Battlefield) and senior Matthew Weinberg (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Ryan).

Dalton Gimbor (Bernville, Pa./Hamburg), Ferraina and Ward earned their third Scholar All-American honor from the NWCA, while Horton, McIntyre and Weinberg each collected their second award.

Under head coach Robert Fisher, the 20th-ranked Golden Bears finished third at the NCAA Super Region 1 Championships and eighth at the NCAA DII Championships in March, setting program-best marks for its overall team finishes and individual All-Americans along the way.
