He ran on the last great all white college relay (just telling it like it was) team with Waymon Griggs, James Segrest and the great Bobby Morrow. Griggs and Segrest 9.6-9.8ish types I think.

Just scroll down the page a bit and there's a picture of the relay team.

Wasn't Earl Young on some of those relay foursomes, or was that a bit before his time @ ACC ?

Young was quite a bit later. Without looking the specifics up I'd venture that he was at least 5 years younger, believing that he was born about 1941 as compared to the other bunch being from around 1956 or '57.

Morrow was class of '58, Woodhouse '59 and Young '62.

and I guess proving that he was also a teen that was hyped a bit too much:
