Alfred Castro is one of just two wrestlers in Utah State history to be a two-time All-American along with Cordel Andersen. Castro earned his first All-American honor as a sophomore in 1985 as he posted a 32-7-1 record and finished seventh at the NCAA Championships at 118 pounds. As a junior, he was named the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (PCAA) Wrestler of the Year as he won the league's individual championship at 118 pounds. He then earned his second All-American that same year as he placed eighth at the NCAA Championships at 118 pounds. As a junior, Castro was ranked as the top wrestler in the nation at his weight class and was a member of the East-West All-Stars. Along with being a PCAA champion as a junior, Castro also won the 118-pound weight class in the PCAA Championships as a freshman. Following back-to-back All-American honors, Castro was unable to compete during his senior season due to a shoulder injury.
