Jesse Owens is most famous for his performances in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, but perhaps his most amazing day was May 25, 1935, when he set three world records and equaled another within 45 minutes during the Big Ten meet at Michigan. He set records in the long jump, 220 and 220 hurdles, and tied the 100 yard record. The long jump record would stand for 25 years.
