The
AAU is proud to announce that the 1952 AAU Sullivan winner,
Horace
Ashenfelter, will be in attendence for this
year's award presentation.
As
an AAU member, Ashenfelter was one of America's premier distance
runners during the 1950s, winning 17 national championships
at a variety of distances. In 1952, he captured the gold medal
in the Olympics for the 3,000-meter steeplechase; the first
American to do so since 1904. A FBI agent, Ashenfelter trained
for the Olympics at night, using park benches for hurdles.
What an accomplishment!
