Hugh Lowham lettered four years for the UW Wrestling Team and helped the team to three conference titles (1961, 1962, and 1964). He was scheduled to redshirt his freshman year but Coach Everett Lantz asked him to give up his redshirt and compete to help the team. He ended up as the runner-up Skyline conference champion that year, and followed that up with three straight conference championships at three different weights. His sophomore year, he was the Skyline Conference champion at 177 pounds, his junior year he won the WAC championship at 191 pounds, and followed that up by winning the WAC championship title at heavyweight as a senior. Lowham left Wyoming with a degree in Engineering and began a distinguished career with the U.S. Geological Survey, later forming Lowham Engineering, a company specializing in water and environmental projects. Lowham has been a lifelong supporter of the UW Wrestling program.
