Graham Amazing Graham's history is an amazing one. As a junior in 1956 the 6-4 Tulsan dead locked Occidental's Bob Gut owski, now the world record holder, at 14-8 for the NCAA title. That was a new OSU record. Two weeks later he went 14-8 to tie for third in the Final Olympic trials at Los Angeles. However, he had cleared every height on his first vault until missing thrice at H-VM, and thereby earned the third U.S. spot on least number of misses. Soon after, he broke an an kle in a warmup meet. He voluntarily gave up his place to George Mattos, although being Included on the trip to Melbourne. Thus, he is the Big Eight's only holdover Olympian, even though be did not compete in the World Games. He waived the 1957 season to allow the injury to mend, and came back last year. While warming up for his first Indoor start at Kansas State he incurred a broken wrist. No competition a 1 1 year. Since, he has had the fracture operated and has managed 13-0 in practice.
