Congratulations to Beat the Streets Los Angeles Founder and Board Chairman Andy Barth for winning the 2025 Alexander Hamilton Medal.

The Alexander Hamilton Medal is the highest honor awarded to a member of the Columbia University community for distinguished service to the University and accomplishment in any field of endeavor.

From his days as an Ivy League champion wrestler and supporter of @cuathletics @culionswr, to his leadership in business and tireless support of wrestling nationwide, Andy’s vision has created thousands of opportunities for young athletes. Through Beat the Streets, he has built pathways for youth to thrive on and off the mat, ensuring wrestling remains a sport of access, community, and empowerment.

We’re proud to celebrate this recognition of a true champion for the wrestling community and recipient of Columbia’s highest honor for distinguished service! The 77th Alexander Hamilton Award Dinner, honoring Andrew Barth CC’83, BUS’85, will take place on Thursday, November 20, 2025.
