Tallahassee History: In 1961, football and track star Bob Hayes of Jacksonville was recruited by Jake Gaither to play for FAMU.
In 1961, football and track star Bob Hayes of Jacksonville was recruited by Jake Gaither to play for FAMU. He dominated track meets at black colleges across the US, but Jim Crow policies meant that he couldn't even attend meets at FSU or UF. Then came the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. pic.twitter.com/sgRJwj9GpD

But it was the 4x100 meter relay in Tokyo that Hayes put in his most amazing performance. When he was handed the baton to run the last leg, the US team was in 5th place. But Hayes' blazing speed had him running away at the end. It's almost supernatural:
