In1928 he won the NCAA 100y and 220ytitles, and went on to finish sixth in thesemifinals of the 100-meters atAmsterdam. Bracey was fourth in theOlympic Trials, running four tough 100mraces in a single day.

1948 - LondonVern McGrew was only two years removed from winning the Texas state high school highjump title for Houston Lamar, but the lanky youngster won the Olympic Trials with a lifetime-best 6-8.25 clearance and finished =14th in London. McGrew would go on to win the 1950NCAA title. The 48 Games had a decidedly Rice flavor, as legendary coach Emmett Brunsonwas on the staff as an assistant coach.

1952 - HelsinkiJim Gerhardt was amulti-talented athletefor the Owls, but henever really competedfor Rice in the event thatgot him to the Olympics.Gerhardt scored for theOwls in the long jump,sprints and throws, andwas also a basketballletterwinner. His Olympicmoment, though, camein the triple jump.Gerhardt was second inthe Olympic Trials witha lifetime-best 49-7.75,and he finished 11th atHelsinki at 48-2.5.

Long-time Owls trainer EddieWojecki was on the medicalstaff in Helsinki, joiningEmmett Brunson as the onlyRice non-athlete Olympians intrack and field.

1964 - TokyoIn 1964, Fred Hansen was preparing for dental school after finishing his Ricetrack career in 1963, and he made a startling improvement to become the bestpole vaulter in the world. Entering the Tokyo Games as the favorite after settingthree world records during the lead-in, the Cuero product endured a gruelling 8+-hour competition on Oct. 17. He had first-attempt clearances at 4.70m, 4.80m,4.85m and 5.00m, but at 5.10m/16-8.75 he missed twice. Never before had theU.S. failed to win the Olympic gold in the pole vault. On his third attempt, Hansenflew over the bar to the delight of the American team and fans, keeping the na-tional winning streak alive.

Ed Red, who holds the distinction ofhaving the shortest full name in Olym-pic history, was the only U.S. athleteto qualify for the javelin final. Red,who was third at the Olympic Trials,placed 11th in Tokyo at 234-8.

HISTORY

Although the prime of Fred Wolcotts outstanding career occurredwhen there was no Olympic Games because of World War II, hisaccomplishments stand as a testament to one of the greatesthurdlers of all-time. He broke world records seven times duringthe late 1930s and early1940s and was the firstman to hold IAAF worldrecords in the high andlow hurdles at the sametime. One of his mostnotable performancescame in 1940 when hebroke Jesse Owens worldrecord in the 220-yard low

hurdles with a time of 22.5 seconds. The next year, he equaled the world record in the high hurdleswith a time of 13.7 seconds at the AAU Championships in Philadelphia. The winner of seven NationalAAU Outdoor titles (110m hurdles 1938, 1940, 1941 - 220y hurdles 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941), Wolcottwon the AAU Indoor 60y hurdles crown in 1942. As a collegiate star at Rice University, Wolcott wonthe NCAA 120y hurdles title in 1938 and 1939, and the NCAA 220y hurdles crown in 1938, 1939 and1940.
