Endeavor Games I’ve officiated a lot of track meets in my time, but the UCO Endeavor Games are the most unique and rewarding! The mission statement for the games says it all! The Endeavor games exists to create equitable access to sport competition for individuals with physical disabilities. The competition is different from the Special Olympics in that every event is ran off with the same rules as the Olympics.

The seniors of 1967 stacked the Wolverine football team with multiple decorated veterans. Larry Langwell and Lanny Scroggins served their country in Viet Nam. Langwell was a marine and Scroggins served in the army.
