SUNY Oneonta Athletics

Bethel is receiving his second consecutive Athlete of the Year award.  This past winter, he continued to dominate within the region while moving closer to the top of the heavyweight division nationally.

Bethel became the first Oneonta wrestler to reach the national championship match where he finished as runner-up to earn his third All-American honor.  He became the first Oneonta wrestler to become a three-time All-American and will go for a fourth next year with one more season of eligibility remaining.

Bethel completed a 34-4 record with 18 pins while winning the NCAA Mideast Region and ECWC title in his weight class.
