Don Canham

Induction:
1987

A successful high school track and field athlete at Oak Park High School in Oak Park, Illinois, Canham arrived in Ann Arbor in January of 1938 and lettered on the Michigan track and field team from 1939-41, winning the 1940 NCAA national championship in the high jump and serving as team captain in 1941. A visionary and legend in intercollegiate athletics, Don Canham spent more than 40 years of his adult life as a successful track and field coach (1949-68) as well as Athletic Director (1968-88) at Michigan before retiring on July 1, 1988. Canham guided and presided over Michigan Athletics during the collegiate athletic boom of the 1970s and '80s as Wolverine athletic teams enjoyed virtually unparalleled success within the Big Ten and on the NCAA level.
