LEANDER BURNETT AFTER HIGH SCHOOL
While at MSU, Leander's Hall of Fame information states that "the success of the athletic program at Michigan Agricultural College during the early years of the MIAA was due to a large degree to Leander Burnett, an American Indian. Burnett is pictured with members of the 1890 MAC Baseball team. He is in the top row, fourth from the left, with the moustache. Burnett also ran track and field, winning an incredible 37 first places at the MIAA Field Days from 1888 to 1892."
