Roy Wilt was a four-year letterman on the wrestling team and a two-time national qualifier (1985, 1986). He compiled a career record of 76-43 and was co-captain during his senior campaign.
He was named an NCAA All-American in 1986 after an eighth-place finish at the Division III NCAA National Championships, wrestling in the 142-pound weight class. In 1986, he was awarded the Rich Luchette Memorial Award, an honor that is voted on by the wrestler’s peers and coaching staff and presented to each year’s top senior wrestler who demonstrates the necessary hard work and dedication of becoming a champion.
Wilt returned to Thiel as an assistant coach in 1987-88 and 1992-94, during which time he helped six student-athletes earn individual PAC titles and eleven student-athletes earn All-American status. He also helped the program develop by increasing the schedule and including more competitive teams.
As an assistant coach as Ohio University in 1987-90, Wilt worked with five NCAA Division I national qualifiers.
