He goes on to win two more Wimbledon titles, seven U.S. championships, and leads U.S. teams to seven Davis Cup victories. In 1950, a survey of sportswriters names Tilden the greatest tennis player of the half-century. He dies in 1953. Tom Waddell , a 30-year-old Army physician, places sixth in the Olympic decathlon. Waddell, who is openly gay, becomes increasingly involved in gay politics. In 1976, Waddell and his partner Charles Deaton are the first gay men to be featured in the "Couples" section of People magazine. Five years later, Waddell forms San Francisco Arts and Athletics to plan the first "Gay Olympic Games." David Kopay , an NFL running back who played for five teams (San Francisco, Detroit, Washington, New Orleans, Green Bay) between 1964-72, becomes the first professional team-sport athlete to come out doing so three years after retiring.

Beamon's jump was a world record that eclipsed the previous record by 21 3/4 inches.

Home About The College Programs Offered Admissions ... Contact Us Campus News Map The Flame "I saw the flame, I saw the flame," were the wild cries from the students and staff at Mountain West College as they were among the many to witness the running of the Olympic torch on February 8th. Cold temperatures and a short wait were forgotten as the clapping and cheering greeted the torch runner, police escorts, sponsor cars, giveaways, and the Olympic mascots. Maybe a few minutes of class were missed that day as history was made in front of Mountain West, but nothing will replace the smiles and camaraderie of a community that came together for a short event that made memories that will last a lifetime. Just a couple of states away, Leticia Provencio, a student at Blair College, took her place in Olympic history and had the honor of running with the Olympic flame. Linda Baer, Leticia's Computer Reservation Systems instructor, nominated Leticia for the honor of being an Olympic Torch Bearer. On September 1st, Leticia received a congratulatory letter informing her that she had been selected as a Torch Bearer. Leticia received sponsorship from some of the businesses in Colorado Springs to defer the cost of the uniform and torch, which she gets to keep.

The story began, "A 21-year-old casual visitor to Falmouth, who learned of the first annual Woods Hole-Falmouth 'Marathon' on Tuesday afternoon, turned in a 39-minute 16-second performance to win the grueling 7.3 mile run Wednesday in driving rain and adverse winds of almost gale force." His name was David Duba, a college student from Central Michigan University on summer vacation, and no one knew then that he would become etched into the history of a race that was to be one of the springboards to the country's running boom. A photograph accompanying the story showed "venerable" 65-year-old Johnny Kelley of East Dennis with some of the other 92 runners who completed the course from the Captain Kidd in Woods Hole to the Brothers Four in Falmouth Heights. Kelley finished 17th in the race. The tag line to that story 28 years ago was that "This affair is scheduled to be held on an annual basis." And so it has. The Falmouth Road Race celebrates its 29th running this year and the spirit which made the first Falmouth so special is still present today. More than 9,000 runners will gather in Woods Hole for the 2001 renewal, including many of the world's elite, though the essence of the event remains a fun run. Back-of-the-pack joggers share the road with the best, forming a tapestry of colors from the start on Water Street to the finish at the beach in Falmouth Heights.

Site Map 02/23/2002 - Running Score Saturday, February 23, 2002 Virginia and Oregon Army Guard soldiers Mike Kohn and Dan Steele added to the United States' record Winter Games harvest of 34 medals by earning the bronze in the four-man bobsled competition in Park City, Utah, on the next-to-last day of the XIX Winter Olympics. They were members of the USA-2 team that rocketed from the previous day's fifth-place showing into third at the Utah Olympic Park thanks to some precision driving by civilian Brian Shimer, who medaled for the first time in five Olympics. The team's combined two-run time of 1 minute, 34.21 seconds, the second fastest of the day, left Shimer's team just .05 second behind Todd Hays' USA-1 team which got the silver medal. Germany won the gold. All three National Guard bobsledders earned Olympic medals. The bronze medals garnered by Kohn and Steele complemented the gold medal that Utah Army Guard soldier Jill Bakken won in the two-woman event on Feb. 19. Kohn and Bakken are on active duty with the U.S. Army's World Class Athlete Program.

The fuss was the inaugural gathering of a 2000 piece band, the biggest marching band in Olympic history, on a soccer oval at Charles Sturt University in the regional NSW city of Bathurst. The gathering marked the first rehearsal of the much awaited Sydney 2000 Olympic Band a main part of producer Ric Birch's vision spectacular for the September 15 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. For five days the Australian and international band contingents have been running through the drills, perfecting their movements in anticipation of the arrival of the US and Japanese groups that would effectively double their size and sound. In less than two weeks, with significant contingents from Australia and the United States and smaller groups representing 19 other countries, these musicians will have to march into Stadium Australia as one to perform before a world wide audience of four billion. Addressing his band as a whole, for the first time, artistic director Barry Spanier said the group should feel proud they were making musical history.

INDEX PAGES IN THIS ITEM THIS PAGE ONLY RETURN TO INFO PAGE A HISTORY OF RACEWALKING IN THE OLYMPIC GAMES by Phil Howell The inauguration of the modern Olympic Games in Athens in 1896 is a fascinating story in its own right. It was spearheaded by the French aristocrat Baron Pierre de Coubertin who was interested in promoting internationalism through amateur athletics. The excavation of athletic sites from ancient Olympia's ruins during the late 1800's provided great inspiration to recreate the ancient athletic competitions with modern sporting events and de Coubertin doggedly pushed the idea into reality. Though the modern Olympics got off to a slow and shaky start, they were well established by the time of World War I. Walking first appeared in the 1904 Games as part of the "all-rounders" event (precursor to the modern decathlon). In the 1906 "Interim" Games, walking in the "all-rounders" was replaced by 1500-meter and 3000-meter racewalks. The Interim (or Intercalated) Games were to be held by the Greeks every four years between the Olympics. This was, however, the only time they were held. It was the first time racewalking appeared (although considered unofficial by the International Olympic Committee). In 1908, the 3500-meter and 10-mile racewalks were the first official racewalks in the Olympics. Except for the Amsterdam Games of 1928 (when a dispute caused the racewalks to be dropped), racewalking has been a legitimate part of every Olympic Games since 1908. The women's racewalk was added to the Games in 1992.

WOMEN AND THE OLYMPIC GAMES BY TIPPER GORE Gold Medal winning U.S. Women's Ice Hockey team in Olympic Village. [Enlarged] The U.S. is celebrating the first ever Olympic Gold medal in Women's Ice Hockey! I had the chance to meet the young women who made Olympic history yesterday in Nagano's Olympic Village. We talked about what a moment in time this was and how their lives would be forever changed. Their excitement and enthusiasm was so contagious that delegation member Herbie Hancock staged an impromptu jazz concert in for the athletes in the cafeteria. I couldn't help but think, as I watched this exuberant group of young women, of how much women's role in athletics has evolved. Their victory, on the heels of the Gold medal performance of the Women's Softball Team in Atlanta during the 1996 Summer Games, signals that finally, women's team sports have arrived at the Olympic Games. But it wasn't always this way. For many years, women stood on the sidelines as the men competed. Team Captain Cammie Granato holds up her medal for a close-up.
