Career
[ edit ]
Originally a champion school football player at Wendell Phillips High School in Chicago, Golliday did not take track and field seriously until his senior year in 1949 , winning the Illinois school's 100 yard title.[3] [4]
As a student at Northwestern University , Golliday was USA champion in the 100 yard sprint in 1951.[5] [4]
He was considered the favourite for the 100 meters title at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics [6] [7] [4]
A successful indoor season and a win in the 1952 NCAA 100 yards event showed he was in good early season form (10.4 s into a stiff wind[1] AAU meet meant that he hobbled out of his heat at the 1952 US Olympic Trials .[7] Lindy Remigino , the winner of 100 meters title at the 1952 Olympics, magnanimously stated that "of course, Jimmy Golliday was the favourite in the trials. I think he was the fastest of us all".[6] [4]
In 1952 he entered the United States Army , and competed on service teams in Europe, before returning to the United States and Northwestern University in 1954.[3] [8] [9]
In 1955, he matched the world record for the 100 yards at 9.3 seconds.[8] [10]
In 1956, he set an indoors world record for the 60 yards dash.,[11] [12] 1956 Melbourne Olympics .[7] [13] [4]
After retirement, he lived in California selling insurance, before returning to Chicago because of ill health.[14]
He died in 1971, aged only 39. The cause of death was listed as pneumonia, a condition he suffered as a complication following surgery for ulcers at Downey Veterans Hospital in Illinois.[14]
