Lindy Remigino, Olympic Champion Runner, Is Dead at 87
We lost the First Lady of UConn a few days ago...Ginny Rowe.
Now we lost Mr. Track in Ct....Lindy Remigino
I hope the link works. There is a wonderful [and lengthy] obit in the NY Times by Frank Litsky.
Lindy won 2 gold medals in the 1952 Olympics...won the 100 meters and was on the winning 4 by 100 relay.
The article has great detail on the 100....how close it was..a great photo of the finish!
Jim Calhoun to men's basketball in Ct....Geno to women's basketball...Lindy to the sport of track and field in our state.
