[[left margin]] Courtesy of Miller Brewing Company [[/left margin]] Lee Calhoun [[image]] Laurel, Mississippi to Melbourne, Australia - that's the track that led Lee Calhoun to distinction as the only track star to hold two Olympic Gold Medals for the 110-meter hurdle. (Melbourne, 1956. Rome, 1960). Calhoun developed as a hurdler while at North Carolina College. He earned membership on the United States Olympic team in 1956 and 1960. His race in Melbourne was so close that the winner had to be determined by photographs. Calhoun was victorious - by one inch - in the 110 meter event (13.5 seconds). Four years later in Rome, Calhoun repeated his glorious running of the 110-meter hurdles and was again victorious (13.8 seconds). With his Olympic triumphs under his belt, Calhoun has made his career in coaching track at Yale University. Jim Hines [[image]] In Mexico City, where the Olympics were held in 1968, Black track stars broke many records. One of the most memorable runners of that year was Jim Hines. Born in Dumas, Arkansas, in 1946, Hines was already singled out for his ability to make fast starts and brilliant finishes and for his grace and apparent ease with which he ran. In Mexico, he thrilled the crowds when he won the 100-meter dash in 9.9 seconds. This new Olympic records equalled [[equaled]] the pending world record. It set a new standard for Olympic sprinters. In addition to his individual successes at the Olympic games, Hines was a member of the United States 400-meter relay team. Hines Graduated from Texas Southern University. He was recently inducted into the Track & Field Hall Of Fame of the United States of America, Charleston, West Virginia. Presently Living in Austin, Texas, Hines is the Director of the Montopolis Neighborhood Resource Center in the Human Services Department for the city of Austin, Texas.
