PHOTOS: Top Athletes Enshrined in Eagle Rock High School Hall of Fame
Many of Eagle Rock's greatest athletes return to be honored at their alma mater.
Legendary sports figures from years past gathered on the Eagle Rock High School campus Friday night in a memorable ceremony where four of their peers were inducted into the celebrated ERHS Hall Of Fame.
After a brief welcome by ERHS alumni president Eric Warren and Principal Salvador Velasco, Hall of Fame President Gale Fullerton (S-62) kicked things off by introducing those on hand. Inductees this year included: • Joe Conte (W-51), who died this past June and was recognized posthumously.
• Former track great Bob Johnson (S-58), one of the greatest track athletes ever at the school, who went on to a great career at Oregon State, where he became one of the nation's premier runners, even setting a world record.
