Hall of Fame
Richard Rall not only won in the northwest, he won on the national stage and took Washington State boxing to new heights in the late 1950s. The Seattle native boxed for the Cougars from 1956-58, claiming three-consecutive NCAA titles and finishing his career with a 40-2 record. He won four Seattle Pacific Northwest Golden Glove titles, an equal number of Tacoma PNWGG titles plus a pair of Oregon GG belts. In 1956, Rall claimed the Intermountain Collegiate, Pacific Coast Conference and NCAA titles at 132 pounds. In 1957, Rall rebounded from a second-place finish at the PCC to repeat as the NCAA Champion. In 1958, he won the Intermountain Collegiate title and the PCC crown before winning his third-straight NCAA title, just the second Cougar to win three or more NCAA Championships. He went on to win 11 Golden Gloves titles, one Marine championship and two Navy titles before working as an official in amateur, collegiate and professional boxing.
