ABILENE - An Olympic gold medalist at the 1960 Summer Games and soon-to-be member of the Texas Track and Field Hall of Fame, Earl Young will be Grant Boone's special guest tonight on the Wildcat Coaches' Show.
The show is broadcast live every Monday at The World Famous Bean from 6 to 7 p.m. It also can be heard on 98.1 FM - The Ticket and viewed on ACUSports.com.
A native of San Fernando, Calif., Young ran the second leg for the American 4x400 meter relay, which won the gold medal in Rome with a new world record of 3.02.2. He also finished sixth in the 400m at those games, and three years later earned two gold medals with the 4x100m and 4x400m relays at the 1963 Pan American Games in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Young, who this August was announced as a 2015 inductee for the Texas Track and Field Hall of Fame, is on campus tonight to promote Delete Blood Cancer, an organization that encourages people to register as marrow donors. Young is a leukemia survivor and had a life-saving bone marrow transplant in 2011 at Medical City Dallas Hospital.
ACU coaches Ken Collums, Keith Barnier and Casey Wilson also will be on the show tonight to talk about their teams' performances from this past weekend.
