My Take
Larry 'Mutt' Black is the kind of Olympian whose name deserves more light. Gold in the 4x100 m relay and silver in the 200 m at the 1972 Munich Games is a phenomenal haul, the product of a Miami kid who earned a scholarship from Killian High to North Carolina Central. I'm drawn to that classic American sprint pipeline, a sharp coach spotting raw speed and refining it into world-class form. His passing in 2006 at 54 came far too early, but those Munich performances are fixed in the record. To me he represents the explosive, all-or-nothing courage that sprinting demands.
