Hall of Fame
Denny Guerra believes that “athletics parallel life. . . Requiring persistence, hard work, sacrifice, commitment, embracing constructive criticism, and respect for those that have paved the road before you.” With that in mind, Denny has certainly left his mark for those two sport athletes that have followed him to Findlay. Denny was a two-sport athlete Football/Track and lettered in three times in both sports. In football, he was a two-year starter at running back during which time the Oilers finished the 1978 season as the NAIA National Runners-Up. He was the recipient of the senior award, which was awarded to the senior player with the highest GPA. In track, Denny enjoyed tremendous success.
