Now that the World Championships are finished, we will celebrate the 52nd birthday of an athlete who competed in the first World Championships (Helsinki). Our birthday athlete was born in a city on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan 52 years ago today (Monday).
This person never won a medal at the World Championships, but did win a high school state title in track and field when Jimmy Carter was our president.
You might remember that this athlete was a NCAA champion. Our birthday person graduated from the first university to win 100 NCAA championships in various sports.
An Olympic champion, this individual set a personal record in winning the gold medal. Rearrange the numbers in the title to discover this personal record. The silver medalist in this event was fifth at the previous Olympic Games.
The man on the $100 bill is the final clue to our mystery birthday athlete for today. Name this Olympic champion with the palindrome birthday (9-5-59).
