THE 12TH ANNUAL LEE CALHOUN HIGH SCHOOL INVITATIONAL

     DURHAM, NC -- The 12th annual Lee Calhoun High School Track & Field Invitational will be held Saturday, March 27 on the campus of North Carolina Central University with field events starting at 9 a.m. and running events beginning at 11 a.m.  Admission is free.
     The annual track and field event, which pays tribute to NCCU's first Olympic gold medalist, will feature more than 500 student-athletes from 31 high schools representing three states (North Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey) and Washington, DC. 

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 annual Lee Calhoun High School Invitational.
