Hawksworth Scoreboard The Hawksworth Scoreboard honors Paul D. “Howie” Hawksworth, Jr. ’56. It was made possible by the generosity of his Wabash sons: Dave Hawksworth ’88, Mike Hawksworth ’91, and Jim Hawksworth ’96. “Thy loyal sons shall ever love thee.”
Huntsman Family Track The Huntsman Family Track honors the memory of three legendary men: J. Owen Huntsman H’71, who coached track and cross country from 1949 to 1971, and won 184 dual meets, seven Little State Track Championships, and four Little State Cross Country Titles; Stanley Huntsman ’54, who was the greatest all-around athlete of his era and went on to coach the United State Olympic Track and Field Team in Seoul, South Korea; and Jerry Huntsman ’52, who was a star football and track athlete. All three are members of the Wabash Athletics Hall of Fame. The track was originally dedicated on October 9, 1971, in honor of J. Owen and was rededicated on September 18, 2021.
Stephenson Gateway Plaza The Stephenson Gateway Plaza is made possible by the generosity of Richard J Stephenson ’62, a distinguished entrepreneur and philanthropist, his wife Dr. Stacie J. Stephenson, and the entire Stephenson Family. The Stephenson Gateway Plaza provides a welcome to visitors of Little Giant Stadium. Located off Jennison Street, the outdoor plaza offers the opportunity for fans to connect as they enter the main stadium gates. Brick pillars, landscaped beds, and outdoor seating are highlights of this center of activity on game days, as well as for significant campus events and experiences throughout the year. A key design element of the plaza is the limestone rendering of the College’s seal, which underscores Wabash’s commitment to its liberal arts mission. 16
