Glenn Ashby Davis
Glenn Ashby Davis (b. September 12, 1934 at Wellsburg, West Virginia)
Glenn "Jeep" Davis was an Olympic athlete in the low (400 meters) hurdles. He won Olympic titles in the 400 meter hurdles at both the Melbourne Olympics and the Rome Olympics in 1956 and 1960, respectively.
Davis was also a fine sprinter. He was a member of the United States 4 by 400 meter relay team in 1960, thus winning a third gold medal. He set world records in both flat and hurdle races.
After his track career, Davis played wide receiver for the Detroit Lions in 1960 and 1961. He had 10 catches for 132 yards in his two NFL seasons.
Glenn Ashby Davis should not be confused with 1944 Heisman Trophy winner Glenn Woodward Davis, who is 10 years his senior.
