Born October 15, 1935, Harlingen, Texas

The top sprinter of the middle 1950s, Bobby Morrow came from a small Texas college (Abilene Christian) to emerge as one of the stars of the 1956 Olympic Games.

Morrow first got some notice when he won the AAU 100-yard dash title in 1955 but the next year was Morrow's greatest. He started off by taking the national collegiate sprint double (100-200), then won the AAU 100 for the second-straight year. He went to Melbourne and finished with three Olympic gold medals, taking the 100 and 200 and anchoring the winning 4 x 100-meter relay team. His success continued in 1957 when he repeated the national collegiate sprint double, also winning the Sullivan Award as the nation's top amateur athlete. In 1958, he took the AAU sprint double, the last major titles he won. Six times, he tied the world records in the 100 and 200 (three times in each) and he also ran on ACC quartets that set world records in the 4 x 110 yard and 4 x 220-yard relays in 1958. His duels with fellow Hall of Famer Dave Sime, especially in 1956, were some of the greatest in sprint history. Morrow made a comeback in 1960 and just barely missed making the Olympic team. Elected to U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 1989.
