A three-time All-American and two-time NCAA national champion, Frick finished first at nationals in 1975 and 1976 at 134 pounds.19253
 
His 1975 performance was especially impressive as he was named the meet’s outstanding wrestler. In his first NCAA tournament, he finished fourth at 126 pounds.
 
Frick’s success wasn't limited to just Nationals. At Eastern's, Frick finished first in 1973 at 118 pounds. He duplicated the first place finish in 1975 and 1976 and 134 pounds.
 
Upon his graduation from Lehigh, Frick starred internationally. In 1977, he was a member of the United States AAU team which went to Cuba and also toured Tblisi, Russia and Poland.
