Dylan Alton begins his first season as Head Coach of the Patriots in 2026-27. Alton arrives at Germantown Academy with an extensive wrestling résumé that spans the youth, collegiate, and national levels.
Since 2018, he has operated Alton Wrestling Club in the Greater Philadelphia area, providing private instruction and coaching athletes in folkstyle, freestyle, and Greco-Roman wrestling. Through his club, Alton has helped develop numerous state champions, national champions, and world-level competitors.
Prior to founding Alton Wrestling Club, Alton served as an assistant coach at Rider University during the 2017-18 season, where he designed practice plans, conducted film study sessions, and helped student-athletes maximize their performance on the mat. Before Rider, he spent two years as an assistant coach at the United States Military Academy at West Point. During his tenure, Army qualified nine wrestlers for the NCAA Championships, including five qualifiers in 2015 and four more in 2016. He also played a significant role in recruiting, practice planning, fundraising, and team operations.
As a competitor, Alton compiled an impressive list of accomplishments at both the high school and collegiate levels. A three-time PIAA State Champion and four-time Fargo National Champion in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, he continued his success at Penn State University under legendary coach Cael Sanderson. During his collegiate career, Alton helped the Nittany Lions capture four consecutive NCAA team championships, earned All-America honors with a third-place finish at the 2012 NCAA Championships, and qualified for three NCAA Championships.
