ATHLETICS Inside Michigan D U-M Athletic Icon Don Lund Passes Away on Lund might have presented the greatest combination of athletic achievement and personable humility ever to grace Michigan's athletic campus, say those who knew him well. His passing Dec. 10, at age 90, gave many followers of the Wolverines a chance to pause and reflect. "It is hard to find anybody who has ever met Mr. Lund that doesn't have good things to say about him, because he just makes that positive impression on people," Michigan Lund starred in three sports at U-M, earning three letters each in football, basketball and baseball from 1942-44, and he later returned to Ann Arbor as Michigan's head baseball coach and led the Wolverines to the national championship in 1962.
