Ronald McClure is the only University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldog to ever attain NCAA Division II All-American wrestling honors on more than one occasion. He amassed a whopping 27-1 record in 1993-94 with his lone defeat coming in the 142-pound title match at the NCAA II Championships. He set a school record with a .964 winning percentage that season. McClure became just the eighth individual to capture four Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference championships, winning at 134 pounds in 1991 and 142 pounds in 1992, 1993 & 1994. He went 108-17 during his collegiate career, including 40 pins. He won his final 27 dual meet matches and qualified for three NCAA II national events and one NAIA Championship. McClure was chosen the Bulldogs’ Most Valuable Wrestler for an unprecedented third time as a senior and served as a team tri-captain for two seasons. He and fellow 2008 UMD Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Chris Marinucci were co-winners of the Bulldogs’ Outstanding Senior Male Athlete Award in 1993-94. McClure, a native of Golden Valley, Minn., was inducted into the UMD Athletic Hall of Fame in 2008.
