Flood was a three-time national champion in the 1930s and was a part of three NCAA title-winning teams. He was a 1978 inductee into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. He was also a silver medalist in the Olympics.

OSU’s men’s tennis coach from 1973-2012, Wadley led the Cowboys to 12 Big Eight titles, four Sweet 16 appearances and coached nine ITA All-Americans. In 2014, Wadley was inducted into the ITA Men’s Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame.
