Shockers gather to share gridiron memories
Shocker gridiron stars, including Linwood Sexton, Prince McJunkins, James "Jumpy" Geathers, Joe Williams and coach Willie "Jeff" Jeffries, plan to attend.
There are three media opportunities.
- 5 to 6 p.m. Friday, May 15, at the outfield hill entrance to Eck Stadium (the southeast side of the venue) when football players arrive to register for the reunion before the WSU-Creighton baseball game.
- At game time 7 p.m. Friday, May 15, players will be publicly welcomed back and will throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game.
- 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 16, at Cessna Stadium. A variety of activities are scheduled, including an 11:45 a.m. punt, pass and kick competition in which players can show how well their skills have held up during the years.
For the Saturday event, Cessna Stadium's east entrance will be open. Other reunion events are closed to the media and general public.
(This WSU Alumni Association-sponsored football reunion is not affiliated with any individual, group or organization whose mission is to restart football at Wichita State University.)
