Randy Baker *2019 Inductee

Spending 35 years on the job  would be enough for most people to “call it a career” when the opportunity to retire came calling.

But that isn’t how it worked for Randy Baker.

After graduating from Manning High School in 1974  and the University of Northern Iowa in ‘78, Randy started and finished his teaching and coaching career at East Marshall High School in LeGrand.

Baker spent some of his 35 years coaching Volleyball, Cross Country, Football and Basketball, but he always coached Track and Field.  He spent over 20 years in the classroom teaching high school and middle school math.  His last 13 years at East Marshall were spent as the districts Technology Director.

Randy became a registered track official while a student at UNI and found himself more and more involved in officiating as the years went on.  He felt it was important to understand and know the rules if he wanted to continue improving as a coach.

When the first track was built in LeGrand in 1988, Randy became very involved in meet management from initial meet set up to the operation of the FAT system.  This is something Randy still takes pride in doing, in addition to driving East Marshall track teams to meets.

In 2010, IATO Hall of Fame member, Al Neumann encouraged Randy to get more involved in Track and Field officiating.  Not being one to stand on the sidelines, when given the opportunity, Randy did just that.

He regularly works meets at UNI, Iowa State, the University of Iowa, Drake Relays, the American Rivers Conference and the Iowa High School state meet.

Randy and Kathy, his  bride of 40 years live in Legrand and have 2 sons, Christopher and Nathen and 3 grandchildren.

George Bretnall

Ames 1977

Rob Brock *2019 Inductee

In 2018 we posthumously inducted long time Dubuque Senior coach Jim Boughton into our Hall of Fame.  Coach Boughton had some amazing athletes during his career with the Rams, but there is one that sticks out above the rest and had I had my head screwed on straight a year ago, Rob Brock could have shared  the stage with his beloved coach.

But what didn’t happen then, is happening now and Rob gets his well-deserved recognition today.

With 3 older brothers, who were active in everything, Rob became active in everything as well.  By the time he reached Junior High it had become quite apparent that running, and running well, would be his focus for many years to come.  He ran the 1600 once in 7^th grade in 5:03 and once again in 8^th grade, this time clocking 4:47.

Rob initially planned to play football in high school but decided to join older brother Jay on the cross country team instead.  He soon became hooked.  He liked training, he liked racing and he loved winning.  He would finish 4^th at the 1993 state meet as a 9^th grader and the team finished a close 2^nd to City High.  In all, Rob finished in the top 4 at state all 4 years at Senior: 4^th, 1^st, 1^st and 3^rd.

As a sophomore in 1995 Rob led the Rams to a 1-2-3 individual finish at the state cross country meet and Senior to the 4A team title.

In the spring of 1997 Rob would win his 4^th state title in the 3200, becoming the first Iowa high school athlete to accomplish this feat and remains only 1 of 2 to complete that sweep.  He would win a total of 6 state track titles during his career, adding gold medals in the 800 and 1600 to his list of accomplishments.  During his high school career at the Drake Relays, Rob won 7 medals, including gold in the 3200 in ‘96 and ‘97 and a 3^rd gold as the anchor of the Medley Relay in 1996.

Rob is still listed on the Iowa high school All Time lists in the 1600 with a PR of 4:16.5,    a 3200 best of 9:09.17 and a 1600 meter medley that ran 3:38.91.

Following his high school career Rob moved on to join brother Jay at UNI.  A career highlight for the 4X all Missouri Valley performer, was the 2000 Drake Relays.  Stanford made the trip to Des Moines that year with their talented distance corp. The Cardinal lost to Missouri in the 4×800, won the DMR rather handily and fully intended to win another gold by breaking the tape in the 4×1600.  But Rob and his UNI teammates had other ideas.  Brock ran an outstanding 4:04 3^rd leg, putting the Panthers anchor runner right alongside Stanford’s Brad Hauser, who a month later would make the US Olympic team in the 5,000.  Four laps on the  Blue Oval later, UNI would win gold by 5/100 of a second.

Rob is now employed by Heartland Retirement Group and he and his wife Emily live in West Des Moines with their 2 children, Lena and Kate.

Gordon Brookhart

Fairfield (Official) 2001

Gordon had three passions in life – his family – his God – and Track and Field. He started running in the 9th grade and never stopped. A student said after his death, he had a wonderful race through life. He graduated from Iowa Teachers College (UNI) in 1951 and began coaching Track and Swimming at Boone High School in Boone, Iowa. After he received his Master Degree from Iowa State, he was named assistant principal at Fairfield High School in 1961 and became Principal in 1966. Brook as he was called, believed that public relations was very important for his school district and in this regard he served his community in many ways – Director of the Chamber of Commerce – Chairman of the Jefferson County Crime Stoppers – a very active member of his church, serving as Chairman of the board several times – chaired every committee in the church – taught Sunday School – sang in the choir. He loved and supported all the activities of his school. He was serving on the representative council of the Iowa High School Athletic Association and had for 10 years. He registered with the IHSAA in 1952 and worked many track meets in the old Iowa fieldhouse. His first outdoor State meet was in 1960. Since 1967 he started the State meet every year until his sudden death in 1981. The 1982 Boys State Meet was dedicated in his honor. At the Boys State Basketball Tournament in 1983, Brook was honored as a recipient of the Lyle T. Quinn award. The Fairfield Trojan Relays were re-named The Gordon Brookhart Relays following his death – several trophies were awarded to runners in his name at several Southeast Iowa Track meets – a scholarship fund was established in his name and $1,000.00 scholarships were awarded to four students. He definitely loved track along with his wife, as she would accompany him and watched him start hundreds of meets. The athletes, who he worked with, held him in high esteem as was shown by the many letters he received from various athletes over the years. When his family cleaned out his office at school they found a page from a magazine he has torn out and taped on the wall opposite his desk. It showed the back of a lone runner with a long road stretching ahead of him. The caption said “The race is not always to the swift – but to those who keep on running.” His wife made prints of this for their three grandchildren who were very young when Brook died. This is the legacy he would have given to them and is what he imparted to all those lives of the young people he touched.
