The first President of the United States, George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. Almost 300 years later, his birthday was celebrated with a Track Meet at Henry Crown Field House.

The Varsity letter was invented in the1890s by Amos Alonzo Stagg as he was sitting on the entrance steps to Henry Crown Field house.
