  • Texas Sports Hall of Fame
    Texas Sports Hall of Fame The Texas Sports Hall of Fame was organized in 1951 by the Texas Sports Writers Association. Each year the honorees are inducted into the Hall of Fame at a gala dinner. (The second such fete in 1952 was headlined by, “That filmland athlete, Ronald Reagan, and his actress wife, Nancy Davis,” The Dallas Morning News, June 9, 1952.) The hall was originally in Grand Prairie in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The Hall of Fame was closed in 1986 for financial reasons, but in 1991 it was reopened in Waco. In addition to memorabilia, the new location also houses archives. Under the current selection process, dues-paying members of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame can nominate any number of individuals. (Anyone can become a member.) The selection committee, chaired by Dave Campbell, founder of Texas Football Magazine, reviews all nominees and creates the “Official Voting Membership” ballot. Ballots are then mailed to the voting membership, former Texas Sports Hall of Fame inductees and the media selection committee. The results of the balloting are announced in the fall with the induction banquet following in the winter. The hall of fame website is at www.tshof.org.

  • Rafer Johnson
    Rafer Johnson Olympic Gold Medalist and California Special Olympics Founder William Dickson Leader-in-Residence, Ukleja Center for Ethical Leadership at CSULB "From the very start in 1969, I wanted to be a part of helping our Special Olympics athletes succeed. I'm another set of eyes, another set of hands and a heart working to be there for them, finding a way to help them be the best they can be." -- Rafer Johnson Notable sports figure, commentator, and philanthropist World and Olympic record holder in the Decathlon 1956 Olympic Silver Medalist, Decathlon 1960 Olympic Gold Medalist, Decathlon Rafer Johnson, along with a small group of volunteers, founded California Special Olympics in 1969 by conducting a competition at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for 900 individuals with intellectual disabilities. Rafer’s involvement in Special Olympics began the year before, when he attended the first Special Olympics competition conducted by Special Olympics founder, Eunice Kennedy Shriver. That event inspired Rafer to become more involved. After the first California games in 1969, Rafer became one of the original members of the Board of Directors. The Board worked together to raise funds and offer a modest program of swimming and track and field. In 1983, Rafer ran for President of the Board to increase Board participation, reorganize the staff to most effectively use each person’s talents and expand fundraising efforts. He was elected President and served in that capacity until July 1992, when he was named Chairman of the Board of Governors. Over the years, Rafer has been involved with scores of charities.

    HEAD COACHING HISTORY Since 1919, the UCLA men’s track team has been successfully led by six men - Harry Trotter, Elvin C. “Ducky” Drake, Jim Bush, Bob Larsen, Art Venegas and now, Mike Maynard. Behind these men, the Bruins have won eight National Championships, ranging from 1956 to 1988. Harry “Cap” Trotter - 1919 to 1946 Trotter started coaching the track team in 1919, the year UCLA was founded, and was called upon to coach the football team from 1920-1922. During his tenure as head track coach, Trotter produced numerous prominent track and fi eld athletes. The pride of his coaching career were sprinter Jimmy LuValle and his successor, Elvin “Ducky” Drake. Elvin C. “Ducky” Drake - 1946 to 1964 In 19 seasons under Elvin “Ducky” Drake, UCLA had a dual meet record of 107-48-0 (.690) and won one NCAA Championship and one Pac-10 title. Drake was a charter member into the UCLA Hall of Fame in 1984 and was inducted inducted into the USA Track & Field Track & Field Hall of Fame in December of 2007. In 1973, the Bruin track and fi eld complex was offi cially named “Drake Stadium” in honor of the UCLA coaching legend who had been associated with UCLA as a student-athlete, coach and athletic trainer for over 60 years. Some of Drake’s star athletes include Rafer Johnson, C.K. Yang, George Stanich, Craig Dixon and George Brown. Jim Bush - 1965 to 1984 Bush had incredible success during his 20 years as head coach, as UCLA won fi ve NCAA Championships, seven Conference Championships and seven national dual meet titles under his guidance.
