He led the team in receiving in 1962-63 and in punting from 1961-63. Fourth in school history with a .385 career baseball batting average, he was selected as both the Juniata football and baseball team MVP as a senior. A two-year letter winner in wrestling, he was a runner-up in the heavyweight class at the MAC Championships.

Cyrus and Isabelle Caulton '29

Special Friends

Both members of the class of 1929, Cy and Isabelle supported Juniata and its department of athletics for many years. On numerous occasions after Juniata varsity sports teams played near their home in Bryn Mawr, just outside of Philadelphia, the Caultons opened their doors to entertain, feed and welcome fellow alumni, Juniata athletes, coaches, parents and friends. They attended over 50 Homecoming football games on College Hill during their married lives and are well known by generations of Juniatians. Isabelle died on June 3, 1996, and is inducted posthumously.

Football, Track and Field

Known as an outstanding all-around athlete, he played both offense and defense in football and excelled as primarily a defensive back as a junior and senior when he led the team in interceptions both seasons. His nine interceptions in 1972 was a school record at the time, and he remains in the Juniata top five for thefts in a season and career (17). He was the team's most valuable back in 1972. In track and field, he helped set a pair of school records in relay events and ran on the Middle Atlantic Conference mile relay championship team in 1973, when he also won individual MAC gold in the 440-yard hurdles and long jump. He was featured in Sports Illustrated magazine's "Faces in the Crowd" and was a recipient of Juniata's Stanford Mickle Award.

Baseball, Football

"Meteor Mike" was a three-year letter winner in both sports. An honorable mention football Little All-American as a back, he was a two-time All-State selection and was the second leading scorer in Pennsylvania as a senior with 93 points. He still ranks in the Juniata top five for career scoring and rushing yards, and was one of the most accurate extra point kickers in school history. An outfielder on the diamond, he posted a three-year batting average of over .300 and went on to play semi-professional baseball. He retired after 32 years of teaching and coaching football and baseball in the Aliquippa School District of Western Pennsylvania.

The only Juniata basketball coach with 100 career victories, his best squad came in 1953-54 with a 15-6 mark during a stretch of five consecutive winning seasons from 1953-59. He served as head baseball coach in 1954 and also offered volunteer assistance to the Juniata football program. A local dentist, "Doc" was an outstanding athlete who played in the 1937 Rose Bowl for Coach Jock Sutherland's University of Pittsburgh squad and professional baseball for the Cincinnati Reds organization.

He was the first of only two players in Juniata history to average double figures per game in rebounding during three different seasons. He had several outstanding teams during 13 years of coaching high school basketball in New York.

A four-year standout in track and field, he ran the third leg for Juniata's record-setting relay team that won the Middle Atlantic Conference mile at the Penn Relays in both 1938 and 1939. He also held the individual school record for the 880-yard run, finished second in that event at the 1940 MAC Championships, and as a senior led the track and field team with 82 points.

His two free throws were the difference in a 38-36 upset win over W&J during the 1934-35 basketball season. He may best be known for scoring all five points (kicking a field goal and taking an intentional safety) in Juniata's 3-2 football victory over Gettysburg in the 1932 season opener - making Ripley's Believe It Or Not! for the feat.
