During the Big Ten Championships at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Jesse Owens, representing Ohio State University, broke three world records and tied a fourth in the space of 45 minutes ~ from 3:15 to 4:00 pm! The "Buckeye Bullet" (who was suffering from an injured back) set records in the running broad jump, the 220-yard dash and the 220-yard hurdles and tied the record for the 100-yard dash.
An amazing day in sports history!
