Nick Halls Olympic Journey and Track Legacy in Lompoc
Nick recalls his 1936 Olympic voyage from June to September, the Harvard trials, and being kept aboard to acclimate in Brunswick Maine. He recalls teammates Avery Brundage and Douglas MacArthur, famed athletes like Johnny Weismuller and Paavo Nurmi, and beating Edwin Wide in a 4 16.4 west coast record. He discusses his three hall of fames, his Santa Barbara Easter Relays role, and his wish to keep amateur sport from moneygrabbing and drug use.
