Bio

Your quiet ways and kind disposition deceived many as you aggresively challenged your opponents. Your skill, discipline and athletic ability provided the basis for your outstanding career in wrestling and track at Olivet. You were undefeated in league matches and earned All-MIAA honors each year during your four-year career. As a senior, you were named the MIAA's Most Valuable Wrestler. You participated in four NCAA Division III tournaments and finished your career with an overall record of 100 wins, 9 losses and one tie.

Along with your success on the mats, you also earned four letters in track and field.

You wrestled for your coach and friend, Jare Klein, who encouraged you to set high goals for yourself personally and athletically.

It is with great pride and pleasure that we formally induct you into the Olivet College Athletic Hall of Fame on this 19th day of October, 1991.
