LEHI — Blaine Lindgren won four state hurdles titles at Cyprus High, then won a conference championship at Utah.
In 1964, the Utah native competed in the 110-meter high hurdles at the Summer Games in Tokyo. He finished first in the event — but earned a silver medal based on a technical oversight.
Lindgren spends his days on the golf course, and also officiating high school football games for the Utah High School Activities Association. But in 1964, he ran under the tape in the pre-photo-finish era at the Olympics, and his final-winning time was changed to a silver medal on a technicality.
