Milton W. Dubby Holt Athletic

Milton “Dubby” Holt, whose achievements in 34 years as an athlete, coach and administrator at Idaho State University made his name synonymous with ISU athletics, was born February 5, 1914, retired as ISU director of athletics in 1979 but remained an avid ISU booster and supported the University’s academic and athletic programs with his time, expertise, and finances. He was a member of the ISU Sports Hall of Fame and Ring of Honor, and was inducted into the State of Idaho Hall of Fame on Sept. 25, 1999. On his 90th birthday, then-Governor of Idaho Dirk Kempthorne issued a state proclamation making it “Dubby Holt Day”.

“Dubby Holt has brought national recognition to ISU and its athletic programs for all time,” said Idaho State University president Dr. Arthur C. Vailas. “He will always be remembered by all Idahoans. He is truly one of Idaho’s great leaders in sports history”.
