Love 4x1 talk....
When Bullet Bob stunned the world with that 8,6 4x1 anchor in 64, a few details were missing. Canada and Cuba didn't have teams in the finals meaning no Harry Jerome or Enrique Figerola the bronze and silver medalists in the 100, actually........not one of the other anchormen Hayes faced were in that 100m final....none!
Why were we so far behind? Mel Pender and Trenton Jackson our 100m/4x1 cats pulled muscles in the heats they were out, so our 200m guys Richard Stebbins and Paul Drayton had to rescue us, well they did a bad job of it, but.....had no practice as a team.
Gerry Ashworth the 4th dude on that team is the answer to this trivia question.......who was the last white sprinter to run on a USA Olympic 4x1 team.
Think that was my first real, jump up, spill my chips and coke moment in track.
