NCCU HOSTS LEE CALHOUN HIGH SCHOOL INVITATIONAL
    DURHAM, NC -- North Carolina Central University welcomes high school track and field teams from North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland for the eighth annual Lee Calhoun High School Invitational on Saturday (March 25) at the new NCCU track & field facility.
    Held in memory of NCCU's first Olympic gold medalist, this year's Lee Calhoun Invitational field includes more than 900 high school student-athletes.
    The first event is scheduled for a 10 a.m. start.  Admission is FREE.

LEE CALHOUN LEGACY
    In 1956, Calhoun returned from Melbourne, Australia, as NCCU's first Olympic gold medalist, winning the 110-meter hurdle event.   Four years later, Calhoun became the first back-to-back winner of that event, earning a second gold medal in the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome, Italy.
    Now deceased, his memory lives on with the running of the seventh annual Lee Calhoun High School Invitational.
