WILDCAT SPOTLIGHT
making the most of it
With a nose for finding opportunity and the skill to take advantage of what’s presented to him, James Litton is developing into an effective entrepreneur by riley omonaka ’24
T
here’s more to Linfield University junior James Litton than meets the eye. With every new encounter, the lanky midfielder on men’s soccer team reveals a new layer of complexity while more hidden traits lie just beneath the surface. Litton is a junior majoring in business management with a focus on marketing. Some students may wait until after graduation to apply what they’ve learned at Linfield, but Litton is making full use of his education in the here and now. While still in high school, Litton founded an e-commerce company called Propulsion Boards. Started in 2019, the company is operated out of Litton’s hometown of Portland, Oregon, selling high quality components for electric skateboards. “The classes I am currently enrolled in at Linfield provide me with further knowledge and skills that I can apply to my company and my understanding of the business world,” Litton says. His passion for business began in 2017 when he picked up his first electric skateboard. After he had finished building it, Litton’s fate was sealed. In addition to selling custom boards and parts, Propulsion Boards is affiliated with DIY esk8 Builders, which reviews electric skateboards and components. DIY esk8 Builders can be found on YouTube and Instagram and garners hundreds of viewers. With a business to run, course work to complete, and soccer games and practices to attend, it’s a wonder Litton has any remaining time to sleep. While building his empire of electric skateboards, it might be easy to assume Litton is too busy for anything else. But in addition to playing in the midfield for soccer, Litton competes for Linfield as a member of the Linfield track and field program. As a sprinter, he placed 12th in state for both his 4x400 and 4x100 relay. His love for athletics came from his family. Raised with a brother, Litton’s family was exceptionally active. In Litton’s limited free time, his

favorite things to do are hiking, skiing and exploring the outdoors. His grandfather instilled in him a love for sports above all else. Litton’s family also shared the value of hard work and treating others with love, concern and compassion. “My family has always made time for me and my brother,” he says. “They taught us the importance of family and kindness.” Litton was raised in a multicultural household that valued different traditions and imbued in Litton the importance of community. As such, Litton went out of his way during high school to study culture and language. In high school, he earned a dual-language diploma in Spanish. He had studied the language since preschool. At age 3, Litton participated in a Spanish immersion program and went on to receive a Seal of Biliteracy, an award given in recognition of students who have studied and attained proficiency in two or more languages. Now in college, Litton continues his streak of staying incredibly busy. In addition to school and soccer, Litton is a member of Linfield’s Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. This year, Litton will travel abroad to study during the one-month January Term. His study abroad class, the Economics of Association Football in England, studies the economic structure and issues related to professional soccer in England. Litton’s world is likely to come into focus when his two passions – soccer and business – collide. This January Term class is just one reason why Litton loves Linfield. “I’ve been encouraged to look at multiple points of view and collaborate with others,” Litton says. “I’m looking forward to studying abroad in January in England and know this experience will teach me something about myself and expand my global perspective, connections and friendships.” As multifaceted as Litton is, it makes sense that he would want his education to be the same. He appreciates his ability to study subjects outside of his major through Linfield’s curriculum. Litton is a student of life, taking in his experiences and learning from the people and places he encounters. Time will pass and James Litton will one day graduate from Linfield, but his ability to absorb lessons in the classroom and life are sure to make him an effective entrepreneur. He has a nose for finding opportunity and the skill to take advantage of what he’s presented with. He is a living, breathing example of what it means to make the most of every moment.
SOCCER AND LACROSSE COMPLEX
THE DREAM OF A MODERN soccer and lacrosse facility at Linfield University has become reality at last. Linfield director of athletics Garry Killgore spearheaded a vision for a $1.55 million project to revamp the current soccer and lacrosse facility. Completion of the project’s first phase was completed in December 2020. Phase 2 will get underway once funding is secured. The vision for substantially upgrading the Linfield Soccer and Lacrosse Complex has been discussed for many years. With the help of private funding from a cross-section of donors, the project is proceding in two phases.
In Phase 1 of the project, the natural grass field was converted to FieldTurfTM, providing Linfield teams an ideal year-round practice and playing surface while substantially reducing maintenance and game setup costs. The field was draped with branded mesh screening, providing for a more intimate and enclosed setting. Six enclosed storage spaces to house team equipment and supplies are included in Phase 1. Phase 2 calls for a new seating for 250 spectators as well as an adjoining paved plaza. It includes construction of a new pressbox on the west side of the field. Phase
2 could begin as early as 2021. Dressing rooms for the women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s soccer and teams are included as part of a multi-purpose structure planned for the stadium’s northwest corner. The new building will also contain a dressing room for visiting teams and game officials, restrooms and a concession stand. Under the leadership of Linfield alumnus Rob Gloeckner of Tarkett Sports, the grass field was converted to a FieldTurfTM surface. The custom-branded storage containers are being furnished by Boxwell co-founder Rod Bolls, a former Wildcats soccer player.

LINFIELD IN THE NEWS Linfield rated as the top-rated liberal arts school in Oregon Linfield University is the No. 1 liberal arts college or university in Oregon, according to Washington Monthly’s 2022 College Guide and Rankings. And for the fourth consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report magazine has named Linfield University one of the best liberal arts colleges in the nation when it comes to social mobility. In U.S. News & World Report’s 2023 rankings, Linfield was named the top liberal arts college in Oregon and No. 57 in the nation on the “Top Performers in Social Mobility” list. The social mobility category measures how well universities graduate students who received federal Pell Grants. Students receiving these grants typically come from households whose family incomes are less than $50,000 annually, with most money going to students with total family incomes below $20,000. Of Linfield’s 1,762 undergraduate students last year, 480 individuals (27%) were Pell Grant eligible. Linfield was also the highest ranked institution in Oregon on the “Campus Ethnic Diversity among National Liberal Arts Colleges” list and was recognized for the second consecutive year among the publication’s list of “Best Undergraduate Nursing Programs.” U.S. News & World Report isn’t the only national publication recognizing Linfield’s commitment to improving the lives of students. Recently, Washington Monthly released its 2022 rankings, naming Linfield the No. 1 liberal arts college in Oregon and among the Best Bang for your Buck in the West. Linfield skyrocketed into the top 100 top liberal arts colleges in the country – coming in at No. 66 – after being ranked 112th in 2021. Washington Monthly ranks four-year schools based on their contribution to the public good in three broad categories: social mobility, research and providing opportunities for public service. The full rankings can be found at washingtonmonthly.com/2022-college-guide.

OREGON SPORTS HALL OF FAME Linfield graduate Terry Durham, who officiated in the NBA for 24 seasons, earns the state’s highest sports honor Linfield University graduate Terry Durham, who started to officiate basketball while in middle school but is better known for his 24-year career working games in the National Basketball Association, headlined the 2022 class of the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame that was inducted Sunday, Oct. 9, at Portland’s Providence Park. A 1968 Linfield graduate, Durham joined coaches Dennis Erickson and Dave Gasser, basketball players Fred Jones and Felicia Ragland, master’s athlete Becky Sisley and hockey standout Connie Madigan in this year’s Oregon Sports Hall of Fame class. While he was a student at McMinnville High School, Durham stood next to his father, head football coach, Paul Durham, on the Linfield sidelines and took notes during games. When he entered Linfield and was a member of the Wildcats football team, he again stood on the sidelines, not playing quarterback much as a freshman and sophomore. Durham went on to become a two-time all-Northwest Conference quarterback. He was one of the leaders of the 1965 Linfield team, which won conference and went on to the NAIA national semifinals where the Wildcats knocked off Sul Ross State,
30-27, in Alpine, Texas. He played basketball as a freshman, then participated only in college intramurals until Coach Ted Wilson called. When Wilson kicked players off the 1966-67 Linfield basketball team, Terry became a starting guard. Linfield tied for the conference title, beat Western Oregon in the NAIA district playoffs and went to Kansas City, losing by a point in the opening round to the eventual national champion. His first coaching experience was in football at Linfield in 1969 under Coach Ad Rutschman, while he earned a master’s of education degree. Later, he coached football at Sunset and Klamath Union high schools, and was a football graduate assistant at Stanford University. He officiated junior high school, Linfield intramurals, high school, small and major college basketball games, then working eight NBA summer camps before being hired fulltime by the association. Durham previously was inducted into the Linfield Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000 and the McMinnville High School Hall of Fame in 2011.
