Morgan Taylor

Frederick Morgan Taylor (April 17, 1903 – February 16, 1975) was an American hurdler and the first athlete to win three Olympic medals in the 400 m hurdles.

While winning the gold medal at the 1924 Olympics he clocked the same time, but knocked one hurdle, and the record was again not ratified by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).

In 1925, he won his second AAU title in the 440 yd hurdles in a world best time of 53.8 s, but this record was discounted too.

He won the NCAA 220 yd hurdle title in 1927 and finished second in the long jump in 1925.

After graduating he worked as a salesman for the Chicago Tribune and then as a teacher and athletics coach.
