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.
