Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lee Edward Evans (born February 25, 1947 in Madera, California) is a former American athlete, winner of two gold medals at the 1968 Summer Olympics. While running for Overfelt High School in San Jose, California, Evans was undefeated in his high school career, improving his 440-yard time from 48.2 in 1964 to 46.9 in 1965. He attended San Jose State, where he was coached by Hall of Famer Lloyd (Bud) Winter. As a freshman, he won his first AAU championship in 440 yd (402.34 m) in 1966. He won the AAU title four years in a row (1966 1969) and again in 1972 and added the NCAA 400 m title in 1968. His only defeat during that streak came at the hands of San Jose State teammate Tommie Smith. The two were so competitive, Winter could not let them practice together.
