Young's career impressive, but not No. 1
For this list, the rankings reflect how much an athlete accomplished while they were at the UA, with one exception.
George Young was a four-time Olympian, all four after he graduated, but with limited competition for a distance runner like Young in the late 1950s, coupled with just how well-respected he was as an athlete — some consider him the greatest athlete to ever attend Arizona — we just couldn’t leave him out.
But he’s not the No. 1.
