Ohio Governor John Kasich to Dedicate State Park Named for Jesse Owens
Jesse Owens will soon have a state park in his namesake.
As previously planned, Governor John Kasich will dedicate a new state park and wildlife area for the Ohio State and Olympic legend on Tuesday.
Owens famously broke three world records in a span of 45 minutes at the 1935 Big Ten Finals at Michigan's Ferry Field, and a year later won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany.
From 10tv.com:
Kasich said he will name the park after the Ohio State track legend, "that great Ohioan who stood up to Hitler and came home with a gold medal."
