...youngest of ten children-all of whom went to college. He played baseball at five, quarterbacked his high school football team in Laurel and ran hurdles well enough to earn an athletic scholarship to Tennessee State (which has also turned out such female sprinters as Wilma Rudolph and Lucinda Williams).

...Soviet meet, the U.S. team was in high key, and the two-day competition produced performances of a caliber rarely seen in a non-Olympic year. Willowy Wilma Rudolph tied her world record of 11.3 sec. in the 100-meter dash, anchored the U.S. women's 400-meter relay team to a new world mark of 44.3 sec.

Boston, who generally has to wait until Tennessee State's girls (most notably Olympic Triple Gold Medal Winner Wilma Rudolph) finish training before he can use the track, and gets up at 6 a.m. on Sundays to work out, set two world broad-jump marks this season: indoors, with a 26 ft. 6-in. leap; outdoors, with a 27-ft. ½in. effort...
