Edward E. Curran

Induction:
2005
Class:
1988

Ed Curran was a three-time East Coast Conference wrestling champion and the ECC Championship Most Outstanding Wrestler in 1987. At the time of his induction, Hall-of-Famer Tom Scotton was the only other Bucknell wrestler to make that claim. Curran qualified for the NCAA Tournament three times and was a quarterfinalist in 1986. As a senior, Curran posted a 23-4 record at 134 pounds, and he finished with an impressive career record of 71-20-1, which was then the second-highest victory total at Bucknell. He was the Outstanding Wrestler at both the Bloomsburg Invitational and Cornell Invitational in 1988. Curran was just as successful off the wrestling mat, where he made the Dean's List every semester, won the prestigious University Prize for Men and was a Second Team Academic All-American and a three-time ECC Scholar-Athlete. He also earned the ECAC Medallion and graduated magna cum laude as a computer science and computer engineering major. Prior to Bucknell, Curran was a Pennsylvania state champion as a senior at Neshaminy-Maple Point High School.
