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.
