In 1957, he won the high jump at the Drake Relays by clearing an impressive height of over 6 feet 6 inches, despite having never practiced the event. His natural athleticism was evident during this victory, and it raises questions about just how high he could leap if he had dedicated time to training exclusively for the high jump.
