The Urbana High School exercise facility needs to be able to better handle the strength and conditioning of its students. The Urbana Alumni Association (
www.urbana-alumni.com) is assisting the efforts of the athletic department to upgrade the facility at UHS. To inspire donations, the Athletic Department wants to name the facility after Coach John Gremer. Coach Gremer was a two-time letter winner for Ray Eliot’s Illini football teams in the 1950’s then was drafted by AFL’s Houston franchise in 1960. That year he began an extensive teaching and coaching career with Urbana, one that led his inclusion in the school’s Hall of Fame in 1996. All proceeds of this raffle will go directly to the John Gremer Strength and Conditioning Facility.
