Poster has been named Male Senior Student-Athlete of the Year at St. Cloud State University, the Minnesota-based NCAA Division II mat powerhouse announced Friday.
Poster earned his fourth consecutive All-American honor for the SCSU Huskies wrestling team in 2015-16. He placed third at the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships in 2014, 2015 and 2016, and also placed fourth at the NCAAs in 2013.
The native of Pierz, Minn. concluded his career as the winningest wrestler in the history of the program with 146 victories. Poster set team records with 40 victories and 19 falls at 165 pounds in 2015-16.
In four seasons as a Husky, Poster helped lead St. Cloud State to back-to-back NCAA Division II national team titles in 2015 and 2016, along with four consecutive NSIC championships. He capped off his mat career being named 2016 NSIC (Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference) Wrestler of the Year.
An entrepreneurship major at St. Cloud State, Poster was also an academic all-star. Poster was a four-time NWCA (National Wrestling Coaches Association) All-Academic award winner and a three-time All-NSIC Academic award recipient.
Women's volleyball star Brianne Stamer was named St. Cloud State's Female Senior Student-Athlete of 2016.
St. Cloud State senior-class athletes are nominated for the award by their team's coach and the award is determined by a vote of the Athletic Department's coaches and staff.
