KINGS POINT, N.Y. (Feb. 21, 2025) – Fresh off its 2025 Centennial Conference Championship, the USMMA wrestling team received more good news on Friday, as senior Reid Garrison (Broadway, Va.) was named the Centennial's 2025 Co-Wrestler of the Year, freshman Maxwell Corral (Oak Forest, Ill.) earned Rookie of the Year honors and fourth-year head coach Beau Bruno and his assistant Gene Kobilansky were voted on by their peers as the league's Coaching Staff of the Year. Additionally, four Mariners earned All-Centennial honors with top two-finishes at the Championship meet.
 
Garrison, who also won the Centennial's Chris Clifford Award for the most point accumulated throughout his career at the Centennial Championships, shared the Co-Wrestler of the Year honors with McDaniel's Thomas Monn. The Mariners' senior heavyweight currently boasts a 22-1 overall record, which includes 11 pins, two tech. falls and three major decisions. He captured his third-straight Centennial individual championship this year.
 
Corral earned the Rookie of the Year award after he placed third in the 174-pound bracket at the Centennial Championship meet. He holds an overall record of 17-7 with four falls, two technical falls and one major decision.
 
Bruno and Kobilansky guided the Mariners to the program's first Centennial Championship since the 2011 season. Merchant Marine had five wrestlers reach the podium as top-three finishers at the championship meet with three individual champions, one runner-up and two third-place showings. The team victory came down the very last bout, where Garrison, needing a pin, won the 285-pound title with a fall that propelled the Mariners over second-place Ursinus
 
In addition to the major postseason awards, Garrison, junior Wesley Wydick (Utica, Ohio) and sophomore Tyler Withers (Gettysburg, Pa.) all landed on the All-Centennial First Team after winning their respective brackets, while sophomore Grant Mathias (Rockwood, Pa.) earned Second Team accolades with a second-place finish.
 
Wydick won the 133-pound bracket after going 2-0 with a pair of first-period pins. His overall record is 15-7 with eight pins and three tech. falls.
 
Withers earned his second-straight individual title at 184 with a 3-0 record at the championship meet. All his wins came by way of falls. The sophomore currently ranks second in the nation (among all three NCAA divisions) with 20 pins and his 5.42 average points makes him the second-most dominant wrester in the nation. He holds a record of 25-3 with 20 pins, two technical falls and one major decision.
 
Mathias was the runner-up at 197, going 2-0 with two falls in the first two rounds of his bracket. His overall record thus far this season is 8-7 with five pins and one major decision.
