George Henry Jr. BROWN

George Brown was the heavy favorite to win the 1952 Olympic long jump, but failed to record a fair jump in the final. His difficulty had been presaged at the U.S. Olympic Trials, when he only came thru in the final round to finish third, this after not having been defeated since 1950. Brown competed for UCLA and Cal State LA. He was NCAA champion in 1951-52 (for UCLA), and AAU champion from 1951-53.

Personal Bests: 100 – 10.5 (1951); 200 – 21.3 (1952); LJ – 8.01 (26-3¼) (1952).
