UCLA sprinter Danny Everett, who won 2 medals in the Seoul Olympics, has decided to forgo his senior year to compete for the Santa Monica Track Club while pursuing commercial endorsements, the Daily Bruin reported.
Everett won the bronze medal in the 400 meters and ran the third leg of the gold medal-winning U.S. 1,600-meter relay team in Seoul. The 1,600-meter relay team tied the 20-year-old world record.
He also was a member of UCLA’s NCAA championship 1,600-meter relay teams in 1987 and 1988, and won the NCAA open 400-meter championship last year.
