HELMS ATHLETIC FOUNDATION,117 Vest 9th St., Los Angeles 15 SPRINGER, BRADLEY AND MCELHENNY CHOSEN TRACK ATHLETES OF YEAR FOR '47 Henry Springer, huge 6 ft. 4 in., 235 pound weightman from Compton College, was selected as J,.ysee Track"iithlete of the Year"by the Helms All-Southern California Board of Track and Field. Springer pushed the lo-pound iron ball out 50 ft. 9 5/8 in. in the West Coast Relays at Fresno, just a little more than 3 inches short of the National Jaysee mark. Ho recorded several throws better than 50ft. and established new records at Fresno, the Conference Meet, and in several dual meets. He also had a best toss of 133 ft. in the discus. John Bradley, twin winner in the State sprints, wins the nod as C. I. F.'s best trackman of 1947. ^he Glendale Hoover flash, who was only beaten once this year, sped the century in 9«9s. and the furlong in 21.3s. at Visalia. With the aid of wind Bradley turned in 9«7s. and 21.1s, sprint times, in the C. I. F. Me t at Oxnard. It was Bradley.'s brilliant performances that were largely responsible-for Glendale Hoover's- winning of the Southern California title. ' ' .. •-.- • .- . - There was no doubt about- the selection of Washington's Hugh McElhenny as the City's top spikester. McElhenny became the first prepster to v/in a triple in the State Meet since Frsnk Wykoff took a trio of triumphs in 1927 when he won the hurdles and the broad jump. The 6 ft., 190 pound youth also won three firsts in the City Meet and in all nine meets in which he competed. McElhenny tied Joe Batiste's .national interscholastic record of 14.0s. in the 39" highs in th^ Jefferson dual meet. His best tine of 19.2s. in the 130 yard lows is the third best on record, and he leaped 22 ft. lO^in. in- the broad jump. - YEAR JUNIOR COLLEGE C, I, F.

    USC TRACK & FIELD Times and marks for USC Track Athletes 1894 to 2018 INTRODUCTION This supplement booklet to the media guide is my effort to document every athlete who competed for the University of Southern California Track Team. Needless to say, I know everyone is not listed, but I did try. This booklet is a free download, but if you really like what you see here, I/we (Trojan Force) would be more than happy to accept any donation you’d like to send. That info will be at the end of this introduction. WHERE TO START? I wrestled with how to organize all this data knowing that the next person would have chosen a different format. But here it is, such as it is. With a men AND a women’s program we’re looking at some 6,000+ names who can be accounted for that competed for USC. This number doesn’t take into account all the relays as there are names on some of the relay teams that did not show up in any other results that I was able to find. Every effort was made to find a mark or time for every track athlete, but this just wasn’t possible. Athletes listed with no marks or times were the 2nd and 3rd place finishers in posted meet results. This booklet covers the years 1894 to 2018 for the men; the women’s supplement is still being “written” and I hope to have it done by the end of summer 2018. The early marks were gathered from posted results in the newspaper and the El Rodeo yearbook.

    OLYMPIAN ORAL HISTORY LOUIS S. ZAMPERINI 1936 OLYMPIC GAMES TRACK & FIELD ©1988 LA84 Foundation AN OLYMPIAN'S ORAL HISTORY INTRODUCTION Southern California has a long tradition of excellence in sports and leadership in the Olympic Movement. The Amateur Athletic Foundation is itself the legacy of the 1984 Olympic Games. The Foundation is dedicated to expanding the understanding of sport in our communities. As a part of our effort, we have joined with the Southern California Olympians, an organization of over 1,000 women and men who have participated on Olympic teams, to develop an oral history of these distinguished athletes. Many Olympians who competed in the Games prior to World War II agreed to share their Olympic experiences in their own words. In the pages that follow, you will learn about these athletes, and their experiences in the Games and in life as a result of being a part of the Olympic Family. The Amateur Athletic Foundation, its Board of Directors, and staff welcome you to use this document to enhance your understanding of sport in our community. ANITA L. DE FRANTZ President Amateur Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles Member Southern California Olympians AN OLYMPIAN'S ORAL HISTORY METHODOLOGY Interview subjects include Southern California Olympians who competed prior to World War II. Interviews were conducted between March 1987, and August 1988, and consisted of one to five sessions each.
