************** USA Goodwill group discovered this kid. Bill toomey an Olympic decathon champ went to Colorado. He set the kid up for when he got old enought . He was there with Cliff Branch the Raiders receiver, yep, beat Branch many times and ran the same 9.2.
Preston Griffen was a Cali 100/200 champ in 1957. He ended up running in our USA Nationals in the 200m, he took third. A HS kid on a USA team that toured Europe? In 1958...???? The kid simply disapeared. Same story kinda with Alvin Mann, Bill Cowings, James Jackson, Carter Suggs, Trendarvis Friday, all showing great potential only to.....poof gone. And these were Americans/
