George Porter (born December 19, 1966) is a retired American hurdler.
[1] While running for Cabrillo High School in Lompoc, California, he set the NFHS (United States High School) record in the 300 meters intermediate hurdles at 35.32 on May 24, 1985, in the CIF Southern Section Masters Meet (a qualifying meet for the CIF California State Meet).
[2][3] Reggie Wyatt has since improved the record again to 35.02, set at the same meet in 2009.
Porter's key to success was his ability to run 13 steps between hurdles, the same trait as Olympic champion Edwin Moses.
[4] Porter continued hurdling in college, running for the University of Southern California, but did not perform as well.
