Fred Brown – Omaha Tech

Athlete–A 1950 graduate of Omaha Technical High School, this fine athlete excelled in the sport of wrestling. Showing that size is not always an indication of toughness, he showed championship style by winning his weight class every one of his four years in high school: as a freshman in 1947 in the 85-pound class, as a sophomore at 95 pounds, as a junior at 105 pounds, and finally as a senior at the 112 pound weight class. Four state titles in wrestling is the ultimate athletic accomplishment in that sport, and Fred Brown can take pride in that rare status.
