Hall of Honor
Glenn Graham starred as a Track & Field athlete for the Beavers as well as the United States. He was a central part of the 1925 Beavers team that was unbeaten in their five dual meets, and then captained the 1926 team that tied with Occidental for the SCIAC Championship. At the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris, France, Graham earned the silver medal in the pole vault for the US squad, clearing 3.95 meters, or 12 feet 11.51 inches and finishing second to fellow American Lee Barnes who won gold. Graham lost in a jump off to Barnes, an 18-year-old Californian. Glenn's son, Jim, made the 1956 U.S. Olympic Team, also as a pole vaulter, but relinquished his spot to Bob Gutowski who was showing better form as the Games approached. Gutowski won silver at the 1956 Games.
