Moments of Glory

Olympic Patch

Although markets and competitions exist for creative work, many people use their talents quietly and never secure financial rewards or fame.

Image of Wes Santee's Olympic patch.

Wes Santee of Ashland was a sophomore at the University of Kansas and one of the world's premiere milers when he ran the 5,000 meter race in the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Although he did not win the medal, he garnered a significant amount of publicity.

This is an image of Santee's Olympic patch.
