Ray Norton

Ray Norton (born 1937) was an American sprinter. In college he ran for San José State University. He later won two gold medals at the 1959 Pan American Games. In that same year he tied Leamon King's record at the 100 meters at 10.1 seconds. [ [http://ibm.mtsac.edu/relays/HallFame/Norton.htm Mt. SAC Relays Athletes Hall of Fame Profile] ]

In 1960 he set or tied 4 world records. During the 1960 Olympics, after seemingly winning the 4 x 100 metres relay, his team was disqualified when he passed the baton outside the exchange zone. In addition, he was the favorite to win the 100/200 meter dash double, but finished last in both races.
