Jerry Jones Kansas Wesleyan Coyote Athletic Hall of Fame
Wes earned four letters in football and one in track as an undergraduate. As a lineman he was twice named honorable mention All-KCAC as the Coyotes dominated the conference winning back-to-back championships in 1956 and 1957. As the KWU track/cross-country coach, Wes carried a full-time teaching load and still was the greatest recruiter in KWU track history. His last team (1969), which finished second in the KCAC meet, had 30 members on the squad. Among the records set by his teams were Track-Rich Akusu, steeplechase; Tom Rainer, shotput; Glenn Appell, mile, 2-mile, steeplechase; Larry DeBusk, 1000; Gary Gullis, 440, 600; Paul Servidio, 880; Marc Randle, triple jump; John Cox, pole vault; Mike Fardella, 880, 1000; Linn Osborn, 2-mile, 3-mile, 1000; Rod Nyp, 440 intermediate hurdles; Vaughn Lambert, 330 intermediate hurdles; Bob Masters, javelin; and five relay teams, 440, mile, 2-mile, distance medley and shuttle hurdles.
