Sandra Marie Burke

Sandra Marie Burke has been elected to the Hall of Fame for her ac­ complishments in track and field. Burke performed virtuall y in a class by herself as a weight events com­ Sandra M. Burke petitor under Joe Donahue in the early 1980's. She dominated the New England and Greater Boston track scene in the shot put and discus and was a multiple All America selection for the Huskies. According to her veteran fie ld events mentor Donahue. the intensity and dedication she displayed both in the weight room and in the weight circle has yet to be surpassed. Through four years of varsity competition, Burke was unbeatable in dual meets. Burke was a three-time team captain outdoors and indoors, and a four­ time New England champion, and four-time Greater Boston champion in the shot put and discus; she is the University record-holder in both com­ petitions. at 53-11'/' and 162-3, respectively. A graduate of Brookline High School, Burke went from a swim and track star to strictly a track superstar, eventually competing as both an All America collegian and a well known international shot putter and discus thrower. Her expertise as an athlete has mushroomed to the coaching ranks, in which she is now an assistant track coach at track and field powerhouse Syracuse University. As a junior at Northeastern in 1981 , Burke competed against the Soviet elite team in both Leningrad and Bucharest, highlighting an extensive in­ ternational career. In a ballyhooed meet of the USA versus USSR, Burke finished fourth in the shot put, despite a sub-par throw. Later that spring, in the World University Games in Bucharest, Burke placed seventh in an outstanding international field dominated by the East Dr. Willie J. Cater Germans. Burke was the first Husky female athlete to compete in either the Soviet Union or Yugoslavia. While Northeastern track labored in the luxury of a constant flow of the East's top male putters and throwers, Burke was personally leading women's field performers out of the dark ages. Admired and respected in the bar-bell chamber, Burke's male peers watched her routinely rep­ squat 340 pounds, and dead-lift over 400 pounds. At 5' I 0, 170 pounds, Burke was certainly one of the best conditioned athletes to be found anywhere on the Northeastern campus from 1978-1982. As a senior at Northeastern, Burke was fourth at the T AC Nationals at Madison Square Garden indoors, and sixth at the NCAA Champion­ ship shot put competition at Brigham Young University. She wrapped up a brilliant career in stunning fashion that senior season, capturing both the indoor and outdoor AlA W National Championships in the shot put. In the Olympic Trials, she was fourth in 1980, and sixth in 1984. Somehow, Burke managed to juggle her collegiate and international globe-trotting with a healthy academic and cooperative education schedule, including stints as a Counselor in the Brookline Recreation Department. She attained her Bachelor of Science Degree in Physcial Education in 1983, and is scheduled to complete her Masters Degree at Syracuse this Spring. Sandy is a 1977 BHS alumnus, where she was an All League swimmer and miler in track. Edward C. McCarty ' ) )

Most recently. the one-million-dollar Dedham track faci lity was named the Bernard and Jolane Solomon Track in honor of Bunny and his wife, Jolane. Fittingly. the birth of the Solomon Track brought its chief benefactor full circle in the fund-raising arena. As a young alumnus, Solomon paved the way for the building of the indoor facility in Cabot Cage, convincing Northeastern administrators of its importance, and evoking the necessary financial commitments from himself and hi s friends. Success as a volunteer organizer and leader has paralleled his many triumphs in the professional world . As a top New England business ex­ ecutive. Solomon has parlayed high visibility and influence to his alma mater"s distinct advantage. Somehow, in the midst of his busy schedule, Solomon has managed to increase the time he devotes to Northeastern athletics. He rarely misses a hockey, baseball, basketball, or football contest, and is conspicuous by his absence from any track and field competition. Solomon traces hi s Northeastern jocular zeal back to his undergraduate days. He was manager of the baseball team that was 12-2 in 1942, and a student veteran of track. footbal l, and baseball events on Kent Street in Brookline, on what is now Parsons Field . Since then, he has held just about every office available to an athletic alumnus, including President of the Northeastern Varsity Club, Chairman Frank T. Schettino of the Athletic Development Program, and Chairman of the Athletic Steer­ ing Committee, since 1975. The Athletic Development Program, under the experienced tutelage of Solomon. has raised nearly three million since 1979, as the University has witnessed the renaissance of the , the refurbishing of the football stadium, and the emergence of the new outdoor track in Dedham. As a Northeastern University trustee, Solomon is an active member of both the Development and Executive Committees, and Chairman of the Facilities Committee. Solomon has his roots right in the shadow of Parsons Field, as a native of Stearns Street, Brookline, and a 1941 BHS graduate. After a tour in World War II with the Eighth Armored Division in Europe, Solomon went on to a mercurial professional career. In 1946, he became President of Solomon Inc., an apparel manufactur­ ing firm, and nine years later started a professional career on Beacon Hill, as State Purchasing Agent, and Chairman of the Emergency Finance Board. Always, he was active in politics. He was a Delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1960, '64, and '68. From 1960-1982, he was Vice President of the Stop & Shop Companies, Inc., before joining Bank of New England as Executive Vice President. Bunny and his wife, Jolane, reside in Chestnut Hill and are the parents of three children: Susan, Samuel, and Sally. Bernard "Bunny" Solomon
