The person that I am talking about is Rafer Johnson and he was a track and field guy. When he was in high school he wasn’t a track person he was in to basketball. After he got out of school he got into track and he won a bronze for his first meet and 2 years later he won a gold. He got them both at the Pan American Games and after that he got to get his pic on the Sports Illustrated for sportsmen of the year. When he decide that he was done he moved. But after that he got called back to come back and run with the winning flame for them. After that he got put in the World Sports humanitarian Hall of Fame. When he was done for life he became a movie star.

When he was in high school but he wasnt doing track and field he was on the boys baseball and basketball team but then he delcate him self to Bob Mathias after he Bob told his couch that he could of beaten most of the guys at that meet. Rafer carred his flag before gualifying for the 1960 U.S Olympics. When Rafer got into track it was about when he was in high school. He became famous when they name a junior high school after him. They named the school after him because the just loved how he won a silver and a gold another time.
