Illini and Spartan History
ILLINI HISTORY - On May 24, 1958, despite a world-record-matching 440 effort by Ohio State's Glenn Davis, it was Illinois track and field's consistency that led to the school's Big Ten team championship. Illini football star Bobby Mitchell won the 220 dash and took second in the broad jump and 100 dash. The only other Illini first came from Ernie Haisley in the high jump. However, Leo Johnson's squad took seconds in the shot put, high jump, mile, discus and 440.
SPARTAN HISTORY - Happy 80th Birthday on May 26th to former Michigan State basketball standout Steve Rymal. The three-time letter winner (1966, '67 & '68) from Adrian was a backcourt starter with John Bailey. Dr. Rymal was a 1971 graduate of the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine. After a few years at a few different practices, he joined, eventually joining with other veterinarians to establish the Oakland Equine Center.
