One of the top wrestlers in Temple history, Art McCall made three appearances in the NCAA Championships at the 115-pound weight class from 1955 through 1958.  A two-time Middle Atlantic Conference champion, McCall had an impressive 22 straight regular season match win streak over three seasons to end his collegiate career.   Following his career at Temple, the 1959 graduate joined the coaching ranks, first as an assistant at the University of Pennsylvania.  He left the Quakers to become the head coach of his high school alma mater, Upper Darby, in 1961.  At Upper Darby, he coached 13 District 1 champions, eight Southeast regional champions, one PIAA runner-up and one PIAA state champion, Andy Matter, who went on to be a two-time NCAA champion at Penn State.  The Upper Darby, Pa. native was inducted into the Pennsylvania Wrestling Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2011.
