Hall of Fame
After a successful career at Lodi High School, Howard Strokes became a key contributor for then coach, Earl Jackson.
Strokes' most memorable moment for Pacific came in 1949, when he set the record at the national AAU meet for the fastest time in the country in 1949 for that event with a time of 23.1 seconds.
While Stokes had a distinguished career at Pacific, it can be argued that his biggest contribution to the school came after his time at the university.
Howard became the first president of the Tiger Track Club, which was an organization of downtown boosters who were committed to strengthening Pacific sports through scholarships and other financial assistance.
