Edward Clark Gallagher (September 5, 1887 – August 28, 1940) was the Oklahoma A&M wrestling coach from 1916-1940. With his knowledge of physical principles like leverage and stress along with anatomy he all but invented the modern style of wrestling. He remains one of the most successful coaches in NCAA athletics history. Overall in his wrestling coaching career at Oklahoma A&M his teams went 138-5-4, including 19 undefeated seasons and 11 NCAA titles. Gallagher-Iba Arena on campus at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK is named after him. Oklahoma A&M was later renamed Oklahoma State University. ==Early years== Ed Gallagher was born in Perth, Kansas in 1887. In high school and college, he was a natural athlete, excelling in football and track. While a student at Oklahoma A&M, Gallagher won the 100-yard dash in a Southwest Conference meet in 9.8 seconds. In 1908, he ran for a 99 yard TD against Kansas State University, which still stands as a school record for longest run from scrimmage. Ironically, though, he was never involved in amateur wrestling during his high-school and collegiate days. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward C. Gallagher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
