It is not everyday a team or an individual is inducted into a Hall of Fame. In the first weeks of December 2010 the 1969 SEMO Track team was so honored in the Southeast Missouri State Hall of Fame. The 1969 team won the MIAA indoor and outdoor track titles. The team, which was coached by Southeast Hall of Famer Marvin Rosengarten, had 28 members qualify for the NCAA Championships. That team also set school records in 13 different events.. I was proud to run with all of these guys and be a small part of the whole thing.

I will put all the new pictures you send me on this site. Please, if you know the names of the people in the pictures let us know and we will label each. I will clean them up with photoshop and make them as good as they can.

If you have OLD pictures of the 1969 era Track team and their adventures at SEMO, please send them to me. If you have any of these "GOLDEN OLDIES" please call or email me and I will tell you the best way to get them online.
