A 49er!

[Double R Bar]

This Olympic gold medalist turns 49 years old today (Sunday). This athlete was born in the capital of Mississippi. Not only did this runner win two Olympic gold medals, but also a gold medal in the world championships. This athlete never did win a gold medal in their main event. A graduate of Cal State Northridge, this runner has a silver medal in their main event. Who is our birthday athlete today?

I don't think that would be cheating.

You got it slowcat! Happy birthday today to Alice Brown who turns 49 years old. I should have used clues like: Ed Red, Larry Black, and Maurice Greene. Good job, slowcat.
