Granville may not have improved upon his HS best at UCLA, but he was a member of two NCAA Champion relay squads for the Bruins. A video of the 1999 NCAA 4x400 can be found by searching for "1999 NCAA 4x400" on a popular internet video website.

Walt Murphy, back in 2001, stated that John Marshall, who set an indoor prep record of 1.50,7 in 1981, went on to make the U.S. Olympic team in 1984 while still at Villanova.
