Wrestling Media Association announces annual awards

The National Wrestling Media Association, the national professional organization for journalists who cover college, high school and international wrestling, has announced its annual awards for the 2022-23 season.

Journalist of the Year is NCAA.com’s Shannon Scovel, while Rock Harrison of the ACC Network and ESPN takes home Broadcaster of the Year honors. IAwrestle’s Randi Yeager is the Photographer of the Year. MatScouts is named the Outlet of the Year, while D3 Nation won Podcast of the Year. From the sports information side of the industry, Kaylie Noll of Little Rock is the Division I SID of the Year, while Kerry Kahl of Division III Cornell College won the Small College SID of the Year.

“As always, it’s a very deserving group of people who care very much about the sport of wrestling,” said NWMA President Jason Bryant. “What’s also interesting about this year’s group of winners is it’s the largest number of women – three individual winners and one contributor – we’ve been able to recognize in any awards year.”

“The dedication to their craft and the wrestling community is truly inspiring,” said NWMA Treasurer and award-winning photographer Tony Rotundo. “We commend them all for their hard work, passion, and commitment.”

Connecticut Wrestling Online was a finalist for the Outlet of the Year award for the third consecutive year.
