Jesse Owens, of the Ohio State Buckeyes, was known to many as the "Buckeye Bullet". He was one of the fastest collegiate athletes in the world, but was not awarded a scholarship by the team (3).

His Collegiate career consisted of numerous achievements. Here are 2 well noted acts of excellence:
8 Individual NCAA titles over his career as a buckeye (1).
"45 minutes"- The most incredible 3/4 of an hour in track and field history, where Owens set 3 world records, and tying a 4th within this short time period!
The three records came in the long jump, 220 yard sprint, and the 220 yard low hurdle. He tied the record of 9.4 seconds in the always exciting 100yard dash (1)!
