Parkside Hall of Fame Spotlight: Dillon Bera

9/30/2025 2:49:00 PM

KENOSHA, Wis. -- Parkside Athletics is proud to honor the Ranger Hall of Fame Class of 2025, which includes seven individuals and one team. The Class of 2025 will officially be inducted during a ceremony inside DeSimone Arena on Saturday, October 4. Leading up to the event, we are highlighting each of this year's inductees, and today we recognize one of the most decorated wrestlers in program history, Dillon Bera.

Bera became the first four-time NCAA All-American in Parkside wrestling history. A national finalist and two-time team captain, he compiled more than 100 career victories while also excelling in the classroom as a two-time Academic All-American. In 2013, he was honored as the Parkside Male Career Achievement Award winner, cementing his legacy as both a competitor and a leader.

Bera's career was marked by consistency and success. He finished his senior season capturing the Wisconsin Open title, the NCAA Division II Super Regional Championship, and a runner-up finish at the NCAA II National Tournament. Along the way, he led the Rangers in reversals, near falls, and technical falls while earning first team Academic All-American honors. His teammates recognized his leadership by naming him a team captain.

Bera quickly made an impact as a freshman, winning 31 matches, qualifying for the NCAA II National Tournament, and placing eighth despite battling injury, which earned him his first All-American honor. That season he also led the Rangers in near falls and technical falls and was voted the team's Co-Most Improved Wrestler, as well as earning first team Academic All-American honors.

Dillon Bera's accomplishments on the mat and his example as a student-athlete make him one of the most significant figures in Parkside wrestling history and a deserving member of the Hall of Fame Class of 2025.

The Hall of Fame Class of 2025 will be inducted on Saturday, October 4, in DeSimone Arena, and we look forward to celebrating the lasting impact of these Rangers on our athletic history.
