Gold Medal and WR

[Double R Bar]

Today's (Tuesday) birthday athlete was born 101 years ago this day. He died about 14 years ago. This man won a gold medal in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic Games and helped set a world record. He graduated from the same college as did Frank Shorter and he was born on this day in Connecticut some 101 years ago. Who is this Olympic gold medalist born on June 23?

Another person who shares this birthday was the first U.S. woman to win 3 gold medals in t&f during the same Olympics.

KW is correct from dj. This isn't exactly easy without looking for it. Running third leg on the gold medal 4 X 4 U.S. team was Karl Warner. This team ran a world record 3:08.2. Did you see what the high school 4 X 4 team from New Bern ran last weekend?
Yes, there are several birthdays today, including Joe Falcon (43) and Fernando Ribeiro (40). Happy birthday to them all.
