Thornton and Bolden and the Team USA staff will guide the World’s #1 Track & Field Team at the Olympic Games in Beijing, China. Biographies of the coaching staff follow. Bubba Thornton — Men’s Head Coach In 11 seasons at the helm of the University of Texas men’s track and field program, Thornton has transformed the Longhorns into a national title contender, and Texas athletes have won 10 NCAA individual titles. He has produced 34 indoor All-Americans and 35 outdoor All-Americans, and his athletes hold 14 of the 19 indoor school records and 11 of the 21 modern outdoor records. Under his leadership, the Longhorns have logged 11 top-10 NCAA finishes (five indoor, six outdoor) and seven Big 12 conference titles (two indoor, five outdoor). Thornton came to Texas following a 14-year run as head coach of Texas Christian University’s men’s and women’s track and field programs, where he developed 72 NCAA All-Americans and guided the men’s squad to five NCAA top-10 finishes (1983-87-88-89-91). He coached the Horned Frogs to five NCAA 4x100-meter relay championships (1986-87-89-91-95) and the 1983 4x400-meter relay national title. Thornton was Team USA’s men’s head coach at the 2003 World Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Paris and at the 1996 World Junior Championships in Sydney, Australia. He was an assistant coach for the 2000 Olympic team in Sydney. Jeanette Bolden — Women’s Head Coach Currently in her 14th year at the helm of her alma mater of UCLA, Bolden has continued UCLA’s reputation as an NCAA powerhouse. Her squads have won three NCAA team championships – outdoors in 2004 and indoors in 2000 and 2001 – and were runners-up at the 2005 NCAA Outdoors. In all, she has been part of five NCAA Champion teams, both as a coach and athlete. Her UCLA teams have a 72-0 dual meet record, with 13 consecutive wins over archrival USC. The Bruins have been rated the nation’s top dual meet team on nine separate occasions. In 1999, Bolden was an assistant coach of the U.S. women’s team at the World Outdoor Championships, and in 1998 she was named the USOC Track & Field Developmental Coach of the Year. At the completion of the ‘94 collegiate campaign, Bolden served as an assistant coach for the West squad at the Olympic Festival in St. Louis. An Olympic gold medalist as part of Team USA’s 4x100m relay at the 1984 Olympic Games, she placed fourth in the 100 at those Games and was a member of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team. 3 MEN’S TEAM STAFF James Li - men’s head manager: USA Track & Field’s 2007 Nike Coach of the Year, Li is an assistant coach at the University of Arizona, where he directs the distance runners and cross country program. He previously had coached for more than 10 years at Washington State University, where he coached cross country and distance athletes to seven individual NCAA titles, including current 1,500m American record holder and two-time Olympic medalist Bernard Lagat. A native of China, Li became a U.S. citizen in 1998 and was part of Team USA’s staff at the 2001 World University Games in Beijing. He has previous coaching experience at the Sichuan Sports Technique Institute in Sichuan, China, and he was a provincial team coach from 1983 to 1985. Harvey Glance – Sprints/Hurdles: A 16-time All-American, three-time Olympic Team qualifier and 1976 gold medal winner, Glance is in his 10th season as the men’s track and field head coach at the University of Alabama, where he has coached 66 All-Americans, 35 conference champions and eight national champions.

He also was an assistant sprints/hurdles coach for Team USA at the 2003 World Championships in Paris and the assistant sprints/hurdles coach at the 2006 World Junior Championships in Beijing. Ron Mann – Middle Distance: In his fourth season as head coach at the University of Louisville, Mann spent the previous 24 years coaching at his alma mater, Northern Arizona. He guided the Lumberjacks to a combined 58 Big Sky Conference championships in cross country and track and field and 16 top 10 NCAA finishes.

Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: Shortly after he won three gold medals and one silver medal in distance running events at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, Finland's Hannes Kolehmainen immigrated to the United States. He spent nearly a decade living in Brooklyn, plying his trade as a mason and dominating the amateur endurance running circuit in his adopted homeland. He became a naturalised US citizen in 1921 but returned to Finland shortly thereafter. During his American sojourn, the US press depicted him simultaneously as an exotic foreign athlete and as an immigrant shaped by his new environment into a symbol of successful assimilation. Kolehmainen's career raised questions about sport and national identity – both Finnish and American – about the complexities of immigration during the floodtide of European migration to the US, and about native and adopted cultures in shaping the habits of success.

    Glasnost & Goodwill Highlights Washington's Grassroots Cold War

    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 28, 2017 MEDIA CONTACT: Julianna Verboort, Marketing and Communications Director, Washington State Historical Society, 253-798-5902, [email protected] Visionaries and risk takers: Glasnost & Goodwill highlights Washington’s grassroots Cold War activists Tacoma, WA - By the 1980s, there were thousands of nuclear weapons aimed at the United States, and an equal number targeted at the Soviet Union. The arms race was running out of control and only a vague notion of “mutually assured destruction” stood between war and peace for the world’s superpowers. And yet, citizens did not sit idly by. Quietly a movement formed, built by citizen diplomats who reached across the Pacific to engage their neighbors, one conversation at a time. Washingtonians, in particular, saw an opportunity to bring peace with their neighbors through business partnerships, sister-city relationships, and cultural exchanges. Presented by the Washington State Historical Society, Glasnost and Goodwill: Citizen Diplomacy in the Northwest is an invigorating plunge into how citizen diplomacy in Washington and the greater Northwest contributed to the thawing of the Cold War. Glasnost & Goodwill is brought to life through compelling photographs, rare videos, fascinating oral histories, and authentic artifacts that trace the rise of grassroots diplomacy in Northwest from the late 1930s through the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and beyond. Many of the citizen activists contributed to and were involved in creating the exhibition. Their stories reveal the levels of fear and hope that drove their unprecedented actions. In 1987, Lynne Cox became the first person to swim the Bering Strait between the United States and the Soviet Union.
