Ed Brady's name is scattered throughout the Warhawk wrestling record book.  He wrestled for the Warhawks for four years, finishing second at 142 pounds as a freshmen before reeling off  league championships in 1985 (at 142 pounds), 1986 (150) and 1987 (150).  As a sophomore he earned NCAA III All-American honors with a fourth place finish in the national championship, then returned two years later to claim the national title at 150 pounds.  During that 1986-87 season Brady went 35-1, giving him the fourth best winning percentage (.972) and tenth most wins in school history; compiled 183.75 team points, which is third in the record book; recorded the second highest number of takedowns (157); and went on a 35-match win streak, third best ever.  Among the season record categories Brady is still tied for tenth in consecutive pins (4, 1985-86) and tied for fifteenth in pins (14, 1984-85).  In the career record categories Brady ranks third in winning percentage (.856, 106-17-2), fourth in team points (465.5), seventh in wins, and eighth in pins (38).  Brady helped UW-Whitewater win the 1987 Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship, and led UW-W to a tenth place finish in the 1985 NCAA III tournament and seventh place in '87.  He is currently a math teacher and track coach at Sabish Middle School in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
