Roger is a rare selection to our Sports Hall of Fame due to the fact that he had only one varsity sport, swimming. The achievement that caught our attention is that Roger was All-High in swimming all 4 years at Bennett. Roger was the backstroker on the All-High freshmen medley relay team, and followed that as the All-High 100 yard backstoker in his sophomore, junior and senior years. roger earned a 5th All-High medal on the medley relay team as a senior in 1951 .
Roger was voted “Best Athlete” in the senior class in 1951 , and attended Michigan State University after graduation from Bennett.
NOTE -Tireless efforts to locate Roger have been fruitless. If any alumnus has information on Roger’s whereabouts following high school, the committee would appreciate the information.
