The most highly decorated individual in the history of St. John's Men's Soccer, Chris Wingert starred for fellow St. John's Hall of Famer Dr. David Masur on 62 the pitch from 2000-03. As a senior in 2003, Wingert earned the most prestigious individual honor in college soccer, taking home the MAC Hermann Trophy as the nation's top player. A two-time BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year and two-time First Team All-American, Wingert was honored by the BIG EAST at the conclusion of all four of his seasons in red and white, earning a spot on the All-Rookie Team in 2000 before finding a place on the All-BIG EAST Second Team in 2001. He was then named to the All-BIG EAST First Team in 2002 and 2003. Wingert's four years rank among the most successful in program history, as the Red Storm turned in a cumulative record of 61-17-13 (.742). The Red Storm recorded four NCAA Tournament berths with Wingert on the back line, advancing to at least the round of 16 on each occasion with a pair of College Cup appearances.
