Algot “Swede” Westergren played three seasons at the University of Oregon, where he helped the squad to a combined 57-13 record, and was named All-Pacific Coast Conference at guard each season, 1924-27.

Westergren grew up in Astoria and led the Fishermen to the state tournament in 1922 and ’23. They lost in the title game in ’23. He was named first-team all-tournament both seasons.

As a senior, he helped Oregon celebrate the opening of McArthur Court with a 38-10 win over Willamette.

Westergren was inducted to the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame as part of the inaugural class of 1980 and into the University of Oregon Athletics Sports Hall of Fame in 1995.
