Watching Herb Semper lap runners at the Big 7 indoor two mile championship meets was very impriational to many high school runners and one of the main reasons I ran track at KU.

Herb was a true legend of KU track and cross country, and an inspiration to me. After meeting him for the first time in 1998 during a celebrated return visit to Lawrence, I was amazed to find a truly humble, gracious man who seemed embarrassed that a young runner should still idolize him. I was just as enamored with the man as I was with the running legend. He will be remembered fondly.

A lifetime of memories with Herb and Pat Bowers who both came to KU at the same time. They were both babysitters for me!
Herb was an outstanding man who worked hard during his life. He was a hero for me, too. My condolences to his family. Lindsey Easton Benne

Rest in piece Herb. You now can join your old teammates, Wes and Dick and more of the 50's gang. You will be missed.

Herb was a hero to all of us who came after him as KU trackmen. Really enjoyed having him at our farm for the reunions in 2001 and 2002. Al and Sally Frame
