Norman Ernest Borlaug may be the most accomplished former wrestler in the twentieth century.
Borlaug never won an Olympic gold medal, or a national collegiate or conference title, or even a state high school title. His coaching career was brief, serving as a freshman wrestling coach while in college. However, the former high school and college wrestler’s accomplishments as an agricultural scientist are nothing short of astonishing…..and life saving.
