    • There is no greater star when it comes to the track & field discipline of hurdles than Edwin Moses. Period.

      Moses won the 400 m hurdles at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, and from 1987 to 1987, he won 107 consecutive finals while also setting the world record four times. Unable to defend his Olympic title at the 1980 Moscow Games due to the boycott, Moses reclaimed the Olympic Gold at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. He continued to compete in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, winning the Bronze.

      After his athletic career ended, Moses became an advocate and administrator of anti-drug programs.

      We are proud to nominate Edwin Moses for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
