The above Photo of collaged photographs is captioned:
Frank Wykoff - Outstanding Athletic
Achievement.
The text at the bottom of the collaged photograph awarded to the Wykoff
family says ...
"In 1929, just two years after Glendale Junior College was
established, Frank Wykoff put the school on the map in terms of athletics by
tying the world record four separate times in the 100-meter dash, and by
winning the National Junior College Championship in that event.
"In 1930, while a student of USC, Wykoff cemented his reputation as
the world's fastest human when he set the world record of 9.4, a time
established without the use of starting blocks, and a mark that lasted for
17 years. He also won gold medals in the 1928, 1932 & 1936 Olympic
Games as part of the 4 x 100 Meter Relay teams."
