Allan F. Olson
When you look at Allan Olson's resume of participation you almost wonder how he did it. Olson competed in four different sports at MTU including four years of track, two years of basketball, two years of hockey, and one year of football. One of the highlights of Olson's career was scoring three goals in a seven-minute span with "flop shots" over the lights in helping beat the University of Michigan. In 1935, Olson established th U.P. collegiate record in the javelin with a throw of 176'1", a record that stood for over 20 years. He was also named a first-team Midwest All-Star in hockey earlier that same year. A member of the Varsity Club since 1933, Olson continues as a member of the Club today. He is a member of the Huskies Club and has been since its inception and is also active in the MTU Alumni Association. |
