Tokyo will be Colton’s second Olympics. He was introduced him to the sport at the age of seven by his father, a black belt. At Piscataway High School, Colton also wrestled and played football. He gained inspiration to compete at the highest level by watching the NYAC’s Jimmy Pedro secure a bronze medal at the 2004 Athens Games. (Pedro also won a bronze medal in 1996). Pedro later became Colton’s coach. Recently, Colton began practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Colton was eliminated from the men’s -90kg competition of the Tokyo Games after being defeated by Turkey’s Mihael Zgank, by waza-ari, in the round of 16.
