Wortelboer teamed with Russell to win the 1961 NAIA Doubles National Championship while helping the Broncs to win their first NAIA National Championship and ninth-straight Big State Conference Championship.
 
"It's an honor and a pleasure to get this prize," Wortelboer said. "The years I spent at Pan American were marvelous and full of joy. All of the people in Edinburg were so kind and they made it feel like my home, despite being from Argentina. The four years I was here will remain in my heart until I die."
