Bill Sprague was a two-sport standout at LBCC. In football (1959-60), he was a member of the 1960 Junior Rose Bowl National Championship squad. That season, he was named second-team all-conference  as well as All-American honorable mention. In track (1960-61), Sprague was the Metropolitan Conference runner up in the 120-yard high hurdles. In 1961, he was a member of the school-record setting shuttle hurdle relay team. Also in 1961, he received the LBCC Silver Key and Viking Award. Sprague took talents to the University of California, Berkeley to compete in both football and track and was Cal’s top hurdler during his final two collegiate seasons (1962-63).  Sprague continued to remain involved in track after his running career as an official, and was named Southern California’s Track Official of the Year in 1997.
