His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the
20、youth his name. “J. C. ,“ he replied. She thought he had said “Jesse“, and he had a new name. Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University.

21、et even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later. A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs.
