*PATRICK O. JOHNSON, Harvard
’33- recorded three technical falls en route
to a third-place finish at the 1933 NCAA Wrestling Tournament.
Johnson was named Co-Most Outstanding Wrestler for his performance,
sharing the honor with Alan Kelley from Oklahoma State.
Patrick would later serve as head coach of the Crimson from 1936-41
and coached John Harkness to Harvard's first NCAA individual
national champion in 1938. Harvard tied Lehigh for seventh place at
the 1938 NCAA meet.
Johnson never wrestled a match in
the EIWA conference tournament since Harvard was a member of the
New England Intercollegiate Wrestling Conferencebefore joining the EIWA in 1934. Some speculated that
Pat’s NCAA performance may have been a contributing
factor.
