Hall of Fame
Guided by Raider coaching legend Bob Riehm, SOU's 1987-88 wrestling team was perhaps the top dual outfit in the program's deep history. The Raiders' 15-0 record included wins over Oregon, Oregon State and Portland State. The team ultimately took third at the NAIA Championships and produced six All-Americans: national champion Ken Wharry (134 pounds), third-place J.D. Alley (275), fourth-place Jeff Marshall (158), fifth-place Mike Ritchey (126) and Larry Denn (167), and seventh-place Brad Christensen (150). Ritchey became the first four-time All-American in team history with the performance, and Alley won an NAIA District II title.
