“Accepting the head coaching position at Saint Vincent College has been a dream come true for my family and me,” said Nania. “Everyone I have met throughout the interview process has been so welcoming and a pleasure to be around.

“Being able to start a new program as a student-athlete in college,” he continued, “and now coach at an amazing institution bringing back wrestling after almost five decades is something that means so much to me.

Bradan Birt

The final award for the 2022 season is the d3wrestle.com Wrestler of the Year. This year, the award goes to Bradan Birt of Millikin. Birt became the first NCAA wrestling champion in school history with his victory at 165 lbs. in March. He finished the 2021-2022 season with a record of 42-0 with 25 falls, 10 tech falls, 3 major decisions, 2 decisions, and 2 injury defaults. He won the Millikin Open, Pete Willson Wheaton Invitational, CCIW Championships, Lower Midwest Region, and NCAA Championship, all at 165 lbs. At the regional, he posted three falls and a tech fall on the way to the title. He then opened his NCAA tournament with three falls on Friday before tacking on a decision in the semifinals and a 14-2 major decision win in the finals to cap off his career. At the conclusion of the tournament, Birt was presented with the Most Dominant award for highest average team points per match against DIII competition as well as the Outstanding Wrestler award for the tournament.

Birt finished his career with a 159-13 record and ended on an 80 match winning streak. He was the champion and outstanding wrestler at the 2021 NWCA DIII tournament. He finished 6th in the 2019 NCAA Championships and 7th in 2018. Birt missed out on the 2020 NCAA tournament, where he was the #2 seed, due to the COVID-19 cancellation. He was a five-time CCIW Champion and three-time Outstanding Wrestler. He is the Millikin record holder for career wins and winning percentage.

Bradan Birt became a second-generation NCAA champion, as his father and Millikin head coach Ryan Birt won the 1999 NCAA DIII Championship for Upper Iowa.

The 2022 d3wrestle.com Coach of the Year is Brian Anderson of Wabash College. Anderson coached the Little Giants to a best-ever runner-up finish and school record five All-Americans at the 2022 NCAA Championships. Wabash finished one point behind Wartburg to earn second place. Carlos Champagne, Kyle Hatch, and Jack Heldt all finished as national runners-up. Alex Barr was 3rd, and Charles Baczek was 6th. Max Bishop and Daniel Uribe also qualified for the tournament. Anderson was named Tournament Coach of the Year at the conclusion of the event.

Two weeks earlier, Wabash won the Central Region, outdistancing second place Baldwin Wallace by 23 points. Their seven NCAA qualifiers tied a school record. Max Bishop and Jack Heldt won regional titles at 285 and 197, respectively. Anderson was also named regional coach of the year.

Wabash finished the season with an 8-1 dual meet record highlighted by a second place finish at the NWCA National Duals. They also won the Adrian Invitational, Manchester Spartan Mat Classic, and the Mid States Invitational.

Anderson became the head coach at Wabash in the 2004-2005 season. This season marked the fourth time in his tenure that the Little Giants earned a top four finish at the NCAA Championships and the second time that Wabash has had three NCAA finalists in one season. This is the first time Anderson has been named d3wrestle.com Coach of the Year. Congratulations to Brian Anderson.
