Ralph Boston Autographs
Ralph Harold Boston (May 9, 1939 – April 30, 2023) was an American track athlete who received three Olympic medals and became the first person to break the 27 feet (8.2 m) barrier in the long jump.
Boston was born in Laurel, Mississippi. As a student at Tennessee State University, he won the 1960 National Collegiate Athletic Association title in the long jump. In August of the same year, he broke the world record in the event, held by Jesse Owens for 25 years, at the Mt. SAC Relays. Already the world record holder, he improved the mark past 27 feet (8.2 m), jumping 27 feet 0.5 inches (8.242 m) at the Modesto Relays on May 27, 1961.
Boston qualified for the Summer Olympics in Rome, where he won the gold medal in the long jump, setting the Olympic record at 8.12 m (26 ft 7+1⁄2 in), while narrowly defeating American teammate Bo Roberson by a mere centimeter.
