Frederick V. Ostergren (c. 1886 – July 4, 1945) was an American football, basketball, and baseball coach.
Fred attended high school at the old Roxbury High School in Boston, Massachusetts, where he was a star fullback and outstanding first baseman.[1] He played both college football and baseball at Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. He played professional baseball in the Boston Red Sox farm system for the Manchester Textiles (also known as the Fitchburg Burghers) in 1914 and the Lawrence Barristers in 1915 and 1916.[2]
Collegiately, Ostegren coached at St. Bonaventure, Bowdoin, and Western Reserve. He also coached at Portland and Deering high schools in Maine and at Malden, Mass.
Ostergren began coaching at Arlington High School in 1931.[3]
Legacy
The Touchdown Club of Arlington annually gives the Ostergren Award for the outstanding athlete-scholar, male and female, of Arlington High School.[4]
