520 |a "Alma Richards, an unsung high school student, set an Olympic record for the high jump in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. He was the only native Utahn and the only member of the LDS church to win an Olympic gold medal in the twentieth century. After a stellar collegiate track career that saw him lead Cornell to three national championships, Richards for two decades reigned as America's most accomplished multiple-event track and field athlete, winning national titles in five different events. Despite his prominence in the history of American sports, this is the first treatment of his athletic career and personal life. More than a century has passed since Alma Richards won an Olympic gold medal, yet this story about man and sport--the drive to excel, victory as validation of hard work, the quest for public recognition and, ultimately, the achievement of self-identity and self-satisfaction--still resonates today."--Page 2 of cover.
