General Philosophy
We believe that Stanford wrestlers should dare to
“have it all.” This is one of the main reasons they
choose Stanford: it offers the best of everything. We
are committed to the idea that a student can achieve
the highest goals in the classroom, while also
becoming a conference champion, All-American,
and national champion. If that weren’t enough, we
believe that our wrestlers should also soak up all of
the other “good stuff” that comes with the complete
college experience. To do all of this, a Stanford stu-
dent-athlete must be very disciplined, hard-work-
ing, and motivated. These are values we look for in
potential team members and strive to instill in our
wrestlers.

Wrestling Powerhouse
We believe that good students make good ath-
letes. Having high standards is a help, not a hin-
drance. While most people think of Stanford as a
top school academically, Stanford has accomplished
some amazing things athletically too. We have

also posted third-place finishes in women’s basketball, baseball and

The 1996-97 school year also saw the Cardinal football team
advance to the Sun Bowl, the women’s basketball team return to the
Final Four, the baseball team qualify for the College World Series and
the men’s basketball team advance to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA
Tournament for the first time since it won the 1942 NCAA title.
Not only has the Cardinal won an NCAA record six NCAA team
championships in a single season (1996-97), but it has also won five
NCAA titles in a single year on three occasions: 1991-92, ’94-95 and ’97-

year on five occasions: 1985-86, ’86-87, ’92-93, ’93-94 and 2001-02.
Stanford has won 173 conference or regional titles since 1991,
again the best in the country. Cardinal teams won a record 18 con-
ference or regional championships in 1998-99 – by far the best per-
formance of any school in the nation.
Another memorable moment came in 1999-2000 when the Cardinal
football, men’s basketball and baseball teams won at least a share of their
respective Pac-10 titles for the first time in school history.
Stanford has simply dominated in several sports. The Cardinal men’s
