Hall of Honor
Tyson holds one of the longest-standing records in all of Caltech athletics, as his shot put mark of 49 feet, 4 ½ inches has hardly been threatened since his graduation and fell just 1/4 inch shy of the conference mark at the time. A three-time SCIAC champion in the shot put and discus, including both titles in 1948, runner-up in the shot put as just a sophomore and freshman record-holder in the shot, Tyson also graduated with the third-best mark in program history in the discus and still sits in 10th all-time. He also contributed on both the football and basketball teams.
