COLUMBUS, Ohio – John Bluem, the most accomplished men’s soccer coach in Ohio State history, was elected to the Ohio State Athletics Hall of Fame, Class of 2022, following a 21-year career in Columbus that produced 206 wins and five Big Ten championships.
The Buckeyes appeared in the NCAA Tournament 10 times and advanced to the College Cup finals in 2007 under Bluem’s guidance.
In 27 seasons as a college head coach, his teams won 292 matches and advanced to the NCAA tournament 14 times.
The Big Ten Conference named Bluem its coach of the year four times, giving him a total of seven conference coach-of-the-year accolades. He won the honor three times while at Fresno State (1991-96).
Not only were Bluem’s teams successful on the pitch, they were equally as productive in the classroom and community.
