Although Oscar Osthoff won his Olympic medals in weightlifting, he was much better known as a swimmer. Osthoff swam for the Milwaukee AC and University of Wisconsin and was primarily a sprinter. In 1906 he set a Central AAU record for 100 yards and in 1907 he broke the intercollegiate record at the same distance. Osthoff remained with the Milwaukee AC swim team until 1924 and as late as 1923 he was still winning titles, specifically the Wisconsin state diving championship. Osthoff was an excellent all-round athlete – he also lettered in football, track, and gymnastics at Wisconsin. After college graduation, Oscar Osthoff coached both football and track at Washington State University, and utilized his engineering major in a lifelong career as a consulting engineer. |
