Pat Neu
Wrestling (1973-77)
HOF Class of 2016

While building an impressive 136-32 career record is an achievement that commands attention, it was the lack of attention on Neu that made his 1977 season one of the greatest in Gopher wrestling history. After finishing as the Big Ten's runner-up for the second straight year, Neu entered the NCAA tournament unseeded and went on a spectacular run to claim the 134-pound national title. His effort helped the Gophers place fourth in the country, the highest finish in program history to that point, and one that would remain the program's high-water mark until 1997.
