Jim Golliday was a former sprinter who was considered the best at 100 yards/meters in the world in 1951 and 1955. In 1951 he was the United States 100 yards champion. In 1955 he equalled the then world record for the 100 yards. ==Career== Originally a champion school football player in Chicago, Golliday did not take track and field seriously until his senior year in 1949, winning the Illinois school's 100 yard title.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1368&dat=19550814&id=RUYxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6w8EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6021,7084496, Milwaukee Sentinel, August 14, 1955〕 As a student at Northwestern University, Golliday was USA champion in the 100 yard sprint in 1951.〔〔http://www.trackandfieldnews.com/archive/usa-nat-champs-history.html A History Of The Results Of The National Track & Field Championships Of The USA From 1876 Through 2003, Track and Field News, Retrieved 3 February 2012〕 He was considered the favourite for the 100 metres title at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics〔Duncanson N, The Fastest Men on Earth, p. 112〕 but injury denied him a chance to compete.〔http://www.usatf.org/statistics/champions/OlympicTrials/HistoryOfTheOlympicTrials.pdf The History of the United States Olympic Trials - Track & Field, R Hymans, USA Track & Field, 2008〕〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1499&dat=19520624&id=Hg8iAAAAIBAJ&sjid=XH4EAAAAIBAJ&pg=6590,3674867 The Milwaukee Journal, 24 June 1952. Retrieved 25 February 2012.〕 An impressive win in the 1952 NCAA 100 yards event showed he was in good early season form (10.4 s into a stiff wind〔). However, the recurrence of a muscle injury suffered in a semi-final of the 1952 AAU meet meant that he hobbled out of his heat at the 1952 US Olympic Trials.〔 Lindy Remigino, the winner of 100 metres title at the 1952 Olympics, magnanimously stated that "of course, Jimmy Golliday was the favourite in the trials. I think he was the fastest of us all".〔 In 1952 he entered the United States Army, and competed on service teams in Europe, before returning to the United States and Northwestern University in 1954.〔〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1879&dat=19550515&id=joUeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=hcsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3650,1836701 The Sunday News Journal, May 15, 1955.〕〔https://books.google.com/books?id=u78DAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA54&lpg=PA54&dq=jim+golliday&source=bl&ots=uxBPotPUNp&sig=ZMC4hRX4Op8jV8_ehd39G_U_SWU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=eeMuT634BKO_0QX_w8ytCA&ved=0CFIQ6AEwCDgU#v=onepage&q=jim%20golliday&f=false Jet, 10 June 1954.
