Nicholas M. Johnson ’03 lettered in both baseball and basketball at Ripon College, but it was as a pitcher and centerfielder that he stood out, ending his career as runner-up for NCAA Division-III National Player of the Year. A four-time All-Conference First Team selection, Johnson was named Midwest Conference Player of the Year three times (2000, 2001 and 2003) and MWC Pitcher of the Year in 2003, leading Ripon to two MWC Championships and three NCAA postseason appearances. He also was a two-time All-American and three-time All-Region selection. Ten years after his graduation, Johnson still holds Ripon’s career records for runs scored (180), home runs (42), RBI (183), total bases (401), and walks (91). His single-season school records for batting average (.545), hits (79), RBI (63), total bases (141) and slugging percentage (.972) also still stand today. As a basketball player, Johnson was a part of two MWC Championship basketball teams, while helping Ripon to two NCAA tournament appearances. A native of Prescott, Wis., Johnson currently is a physical education teacher and varsity boys basketball coach and assistant varsity baseball coach with the Prescott Public Schools. He and his wife, Beth, live in Prescott.
