BRYAN KMETZ ’07 is one of the top wrestlers ever to compete at BW.

Wrestling in the 285-pound weight class, Bryan, a four-year starter and letterman, compiled an outstanding 90-14 record, which ranks 13th all-time in school history.

Bryan earned All-American honors with a runner-up finish at the 2007 NCAA Division III National Tournament. He is one of two four-time All-OAC grapplers. He also won two OAC individual titles and was the runner-up twice. Bryan had a career-high 28 wins as a freshman and qualified for the NCAA Division III National Tournament as a junior (23-4 record).

Overall, Bryan won six individual tournament titles and placed at 10 tournaments. He also is one of just four BW wrestlers to make it to the NCAA Division III championship match (the other three, Paul Petrella ’78, Kevin Higgins ’89 and Kelly Keenan ’94 are all members of the HOF).

Today, Bryan is a certified personal fitness instructor at the Cleveland Fitness Club.
