About Lindy Remigino
Lindy John Remigino was an American track and field athlete, the 1952 Olympic 100 m champion. In 1952, while at Manhattan College he won the ICAAAA 220 championship, then placed close second to Morgan State's sprinter, Art Bragg, at the United States Olympic Trials. In Oslo, Norway, Remigino won in 10.2 s which would have equaled the 100-meters world-record, but an out of place wind-o-meter meant the time could not be ratified. He therefore decelerated in the lean, and, as McKenley came quickly, at the tape no one was certain who won. Following his running career, Remigino became a coach at the Hartford High School in Connecticut.
