Northwestern wrestling's only four-time All-American, Funk also was named Northwestern's Male Athlete of the Year for 1990-91.

That same year, he also led NU in points, falls and net takedowns, sweeping the team's three major postseason awards.
He finished his career with 122 wins, good for third on Northwestern's all-time list, and participated in the 1991 East-West All-Star meet. Funk won a career-best 35 matches in 1990, which ranks among NU's top 10 for single-season victories.
In 1991, he was Northwestern's Stuteville Award (most points) recipient. He also captured the Jack Riley Fall Trophy that year, as well as the Lupton Award (net takedowns).
