Randy Williams

Randy Williams commands my admiration. A Fresno native who competed for the University of Southern California, one of the great cradles of American sprinting and jumping, he belonged to a golden generation of track and field. The long jump is a brutally precise event where careers hinge on a few centimeters and one explosive instant in the air, and to contend at that level demands relentless refinement of approach, takeoff, and flight. He may not be a household name today, but I see him as someone who helped shape an era of the sport. There is genuine beauty in dedicating a life to a single perfect leap.
