This medal is a fantastic addition and perfect for collectors of medals and exonumia, or for anyone interested in coins and paper money. Its intricate design and quality craftsmanship are sure to impress, and it was produced especially for the 1986 Regional Championship in the United States. It also features a neck ribbon to display the medal proudly. The medal and the Championships honor the great Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany.
The Jesse Owens Award is USA Track and Field's highest accolade for the year's best track and field athlete. Owens was ranked by ESPN as the sixth greatest North American athlete of the 20th century and the highest-ranked in his sport. In 1999, he was on the six-man short-list for the BBC's Sports Personality of the Century. Jesse Owens was born in 1913, and died in the 1980's.
