GLENN MORRIS comes is as our HBM Decathlon no.10…after graduating from Colorado State in 1934, he went on to take home Olympic Gold in 1936, setting a World Record that would remain unbeaten until 14 years later in 1950!!!💪
Thereafter, time playing American Football for the Detroit Lions, and even landing the role of Tarzan (in “Tarzan’s Revenge”), all came along quickly, only sadly for serious injury whilst serving as a naval officer during WWII to impact his life thereafter; until his passing in 1974 aged 61…🕊️
