Rafer Johnson Passed Away
« on: December 03, 2020, 07:18:58 PM »
Rafer Johnson passed away at 86.  Probably the best decathalete ever.  At one point, he was ranked in the top ten in the world in six of the ten events.  He also made the 1956 Olympic team in the broad jump (the term used in 1956).

RIP!

This should be on the main page. RIP. Before my time but I knew about him as a kid.
I'll stick to running, thank you.
