UCLA

[Texas]

I was following Texas' lead, counting the number for one US college of:
Individual male Olympians (not the number of medals);
Flat 100/200/400 sprinters (60m counts, too,) but no hurdles;
No multi-events.

For Texas: I am thinking of another school you haven't listed yet that has seven Olympians in the sprints, five of whom came home with Gold medals. Of course, you have found USC which has produced 8 Olympians, six of whom have won individual male Gold medals.

I don't keep up with the female side of track much. Something tells me ...hmmm?

Texas:

The school with seven male Olympian sprinters is Cal. The five who won Gold ran:
100m (3)
400m (2)

Anyone want to take a shot at who they were?
[Edited to change the counts]

When I think of Cal it's...

Hal Davis
Leamon King
Eddie Hart
Forrest Beatty
George Anderson
Atlee Mahorn
Archie Williams
Isacc Curtis
Jack Yerman

You sure Cal won three Oly golds in the 100m?

Texas, you covered four of Cal's five Gold medalist sprint Olympians – King ('56) and Hart ('72) in 4x100m relays and Williams ('36) in the individual 400m and Yerman ('60) in the 4x400m relay.

Your recent post pointing out the relay success of non-individual event sprinters, in which you noted in particular the 1932 US 4x100m relay team winners, leads to the identity of Cal's 5th Gold medalist sprinter, Bob Kiesel, in that race.

Cal's sixth and seventh Olympic sprinters only got 5th place fiinishes, not Golds – Athlee Mahorn ('84, '88, '92) for Canada in the '88 200m and Malachi Davis ('04) for GB&NI in the 4x400m.

Overall, a pretty high level of accomplishment for the Cal sprinters!

When I saw your 100m/400m I was thinking the indv sprints.....my bad.

Good stuff bro!

What a shame Hal Davis had no Olympics to star in....huh?

And then there's Penn, with 10 sprinters , including 7 gold medalists (through 400 only, no hurdles, jumps or 800): Al Kraenzlein (1 '00 60, Walt Tewksbury (2 '00 60, 2 '00 100, 1 '00 200), Tad McClain (dnq '00 100), Nat Cartmell (2 '04 100, 4 '04 200, 2 '08 100, 3 '08 200, 1 '08 SMR-200 leg), John B. Taylor (dnc '08 400, 1 '08 SMR-400 leg), Don Lippincott (3 '12 100, 2 '12 200), Ted Meredith (4 '12 400m 1 '12 4x4, dnq '20 400, 4 '20 4x4), George Hill (4 '24 200), Oliver MacDonald (1 '24 4x4), Bill Carr (1 '32 400, 1 '32 4x4).

Then there was John Haines.

At this point I thought you were only talking about schools with x-number of Olympians. Haines didn't make an OG team.

You can't talk Penn sprinting and not mention John Haines, you disagree?

No need to mention Haines if you're only talking Olympians.

On the other hand, if you're talking great Penn sprinters, then you have to add Horry Lee and Ernie Ramsdell and Tex Ramsdell and Jimmy Patterson and Boots Lever and Creed Haymond, each of whom would have "ranked" among the top two in the world in the 100 or 200 in one year or another before 1924
