Gretz was the 2007 Horizon League Track and Field Athlete of the Year, capping his stellar career with the Panthers. He was a three-time league champion in the indoor shot put and a two-team league winner in both the outdoor shot put and outdoor discus. He also won the 2005 indoor weight throw championship, giving him four league titles in that season alone. That season's run of titles earned him League Men's Indoor and Outdoor Field Performer of the Meet at the league championships.
Gretz helped the Milwaukee men's track and field program start its amazing run of league titles, leading the Panthers to all eight possible team crowns in his four seasons. In 2004, he helped the team to largest margins of victory for Milwaukee at the league meets (+109 indoor, +120 outdoor).
He still holds school records in the outdoor shot put and discus and remains in the top five for the hammer throw, weight throw and indoor shot put. He also held the Horizon League record for the outdoor shot put until last season.
