Meeting Moses on his Road

I have been driving on Edwin C. Moses Boulevard for over 20 years now. I had heard that he was an Olympic athlete, but that’s about the extent of my knowledge.

I am a bit embarrassed that I didn’t know how incredible his accomplishments were. Not only did he win a couple Olympic gold medals, but he also went nearly 10 years without losing a race! He was named to ESPN's SportCentury 50 Greatest Athletes. Oh yeah, and he’s also a physicist who went to college on an academic scholarship. He’s certainly someone we can be proud to call a native Daytonian.

We videotaped Mr. Moses for the Dayton/Montgomery County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau as part of a video to help the region land the AAU Jr. Olympics.
