Victor Everett is part of the 2023 Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame induction class. The class will be inducted on Sat., Jan. 14.
In the spring of 1974, Vic Everett ran the 440-yard dash in the Kansas State Track and Field Meet at Cessna Stadium. In the north end of the stadium, a digital scoreboard mounted on a metal W, 46 feet tall, dominated the scene.
After his race, Everett saw his name on that scoreboard and started thinking about running as a Shocker.
"I was just a little kid from Topeka," he said.
