Ralph Craig

Ralph Cook Craig (June 21, 1889 – July 21, 1972) was an American track and field athlete.

[1] Craig began his track career as a hurdler at Detroit Central High School and only later developed into a sprinter at the University of Michigan.

A big favorite was his compatriot Donald Lippincott, who had set a world record of 10.6 in the heats.

His younger brother, James B. Craig, also ran track at Michigan and starred for the Michigan Wolverines football team, earning a consensus selection to the 1913 College Football All-America Team.

Although he did not compete, Craig (59) carried the American flag at the opening ceremonies in London.
