Victor Rodriguez became the first Hispanic to receive an athletic scholarship at North Texas in 1952, and went on to letter three years with the school's track and field team.
Prior to arriving at North Texas, the distance specialist won the junior college national championship in the half-mile run while at Victoria Junior College in 1951. His versatility in long-distance events helped North Texas win the Border Olympics and the Fort Worth Track Meets. At the Kansas Relays he was a member of the winning 2-mile relay team and at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, he was a member of the winning sprint-medley relay team.
He went on to earn his bachelor's degree in 1955 and master's of education in 1962, both from North Texas, and a Ph. D. from the University of Texas in 1982.
After a lengthy teaching and administrative career in the San Antonio ISD, he became the superintendent of schools for San Antonio in 1982.
