Millersville

Bill Wolfe made his mark in his specialty--the javelin throw--during his Millersville track and field career.

In 1979, he captured the NCAA Division III national title with a throw of 67.17 meters. That performance was the first of his three consecutive All-American performances in national competition.

He also earned the prestigious IC4A javelin championship as a sophomore (1979) and also twice captured the PSAC javelin title (1979 and 1980).

Using the old javelin implement, his 236-10 throw in 1979 stands as the all-time record in Millersville history, and he also set the Biemesderfer Stadium standard of 236-3 as a freshman in 1978.

A four-year varsity letterman, Wolfe was a team co-captain in his senior season (1981).

After graduating in 1982 with a bachelor's of science degree in social studies, Wolfe served as a captain in the U.S. Army Reserve, and was All-Army javelin titleholder in 1985. He also was a volunteer with the American Red Cross for 10 years and was a certified life-saving instructor. In 1982, he received a special life-saving certificate personally signed by President Ronald Reagan.

Wolfe maintained his involvement in track and field as an official for five years when the Keystone State Games were based in his hometown of Harrisburg.

Today, Bill is employed as a social studies teacher and strength/conditioning coach for the Central Dauphin School District.
