Ripon's 100 For 100: Ashley Cooper '82

RIPON, Wis. – Ashley Cooper '82 was a two-sport star at Ripon College, excelling on a national level in both basketball and tennis. Remembered just as much for winning, as for his individual accomplishments, Cooper was a four-time conference champion in tennis, while helping the Redmen win three consecutive MWC Team Tennis Championships from 1979-81, more than doubling the amount of conference titles the program had won prior to Cooper's arrival. On the basketball court, Cooper helped Ripon win the 1980 MWC Championship and advance to the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in program history. He was inducted into Ripon's Athletics Hall of Fame in 1992, the first year he was eligible.
