Alf Engen’s “King of the Hill” Trophy Case

Alf Engenโ€™s extensive collection of trophies and memorabilia comprise the museumโ€™s centerpiece.
Included in the display is a replica of the infamous Wheaties โ€œBreakfast of Championsโ€ cereal box featuring Alf Engen that resulted in his removal from the 1936 Olympic team.ย  Alf never received money for appearing in the advertisement, but the Olympic committee decided that it constituted an endorsement which was not allowed at the time.ย 
This and hundreds more unique artifacts and awards attest to the unmatched accomplishments of the man selected as โ€œUtahโ€™s Athlete of the Twentieth Century.โ€
