  Larson was a two-sport Sioux performer in the late 1950's and early 1960's in baseball and hockey. He came to UND from Minneapolis under the persuasion of ex-Hockey Coach Bob May. Statistical records prove that Bart is one of the best hitting baseball players UND has ever had. He consistently hit over .300 and for many years his .544 conference batting average led that phase of the records. He was twice an All Conference outfielder. Larson also lettered three seasons as a hockey wing and played on UND's first national collegiate championship hockey team in 1959.
