The 1924 Olympic gold medal was Dan Kinsey’s only major title although he won Big 10 conference titles for Illinois in 1924 in both the 60 yard hurdles indoors and the 120 yard hurdles outdoors. After graduating from the University of Illinois, Kinsey received a master’s degree from Oberlin and a Ph.D. from Michigan in kinesiology. He taught and coached at Oberlin for 31 years, then went to Earlham College in Indiana as director of physical education and later held a similar post at Delta College in Bay City, Michigan, until his 1967 retirement.
Personal Best: 110H – 14.9 (1924).
