Fifty Wildcat Greats

From Central Street to the breezy shores off Lakeside Field, some of the world's greatest collegiate athletes have competed for Northwestern.

Do you remember when Coach Fitz roamed the defensive backfield for the Rose Bowl–bound 'Cats in 1995? Did you watch Anucha Browne pour in 31 points per night at Welsh-Ryan? Have you ever seen a faster Wildcat in the water than Matt Grevers?

We listed "Fifty Wildcat Greats" and with help from our readers we picked our "Top Cats" — our all-time top 10 plus two fan favorites.

Go 'Cats!

"What about Luke Johnson Sr.?  Nine varsity letters. According to the NU site, '...one of the most talented all-around athletes in Wildcat history.'" Northwestern fans have weighed in on our 50 greatest Wildcats. Check out their comments on Northwestern's best, including a few we missed.
