Material Detail

If you’ve never heard this name, that’s really too bad, because this dude was the baddest of the bad when it came to track and field. He was an elite coach who was inducted into nine different halls of fame, won 34 national titles and guided the careers of Wilma Rudolph, Wyomia Tyus, Mae Faggs Starr, Edith McGuire Duvall, Chandra Cheeseborough, Barbara Jones Slater, Willye White, Madeline Manning Mims, Isabelle Daniels, Martha Hudson, Kathy McMillan and Lucinda Williams. All of those Olympic medalists were trained by Coach Temple, who was a two-time Olympic coach (1960, 1964) during his 41 years at TSU from 1953-1994.
