Pacific University Athletics

Fitting the bill as another outstanding wrestler from a program with a deep and successful history, Guy Takahashi was a two-time NAIA All-American as a heavyweight. A four-year standout, Takahashi placed fourth in both the 1994 and 1995 national championships. He was a two-time NAIA West Region champion and was ranked as high as first (1995) and second (1996) in the heavyweight rankings. He was named Pacific's Outstanding Male Athlete in 1996 during a year in which he also competed in track and field, where he still ranked fourth all-time in the shot put. Takahashi helped lead the Boxers to a pair of NAIA top-10 finishes, including a sixth place banner in 1995. The Hawaii native finished with a career mark of 67-24 and is now a successful coach at Century High School in Hillsboro.
