Vaughn Named To Olympic Committee
District 3 Oklahoma County Commissioner Ray Vaughn, R-Edmond, has been appointed by the Oklahoma County Board of County Commissioners to serve as the representative on the UCO’s Oklahoma Olympic Engagement Committee. Vaughn joins 18 other members of the committee comprised of UCO officials, elected officials, a former Olympian, and representatives from the various Chambers of Commerce and private sector companies.
Working with the U.S. Olympic Committee is nothing new to Vaughn. Vaughn’s father, Raymond L. Vaughn, Sr., served as the U.S. Olympic decathlon coach from 1972 to 1976, having coached Oklahoman Jeff Bennett at the Olympic Games in Munich in 1972, and Bruce Jenner who won the gold medal in 1976 at the Olympic Games in Montreal.
County Commissioners agreed to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the University of Central Oklahoma late last month to offer Oklahoma County’s support in assisting UCO in its effort to bring Olympic activities, Olympic athletes, and Olympic training opportunities to Edmond and Oklahoma City.
