Ron Freeman?

[Usher]

In the recent post with the obituary of former ASU coach Baldy Castillo, Ron Freeman is listed as having been a part of the ASU world record relay in 1963, and later part of the 1968 Olympic 4x400 gold medal.

Maybe my memory is getting fuzzy, but I thought those were two different Ron Freemans. Anyone know the facts?

You're right, and the obit conflated the two.

I met the New Jersey version of Ron Freeman (the Olympic one) in the 1980's when he was the first Executive Director of the Garden State Games. I haven't seen him in years.
