Edward Adams lived in
"I remember him out on the track in the cold, working with the kids who
needed extra help... He was very sensitive and kind. He was a true gentleman, I
mean a gentle man. And he always, always took time to listen to his
students." ~ former colleague Dorothy Middaugh
Former Hartnell AD Bob Kelley ~ "He'd get out there and line the track
himself with dolomite markers, He did everything."
His association with Hartnell and track and field continued through his
retirement. Some of the stars he and co-coach "Bud" Winter developed
were: Hal Davis (one-time world's fastest human) 9.4 in the Madison Square
Garden Invitational 1940, Wille Martinson, Baylor transfer winning the
Southewest Conf. 100-yard title in the 1940s, Don 'Boom Boom' Burke, a 210lbs,
9.8 sprinter who played in the Rose Bowl for USC, and San Francisco 49ers.
G. Ed Adams will always be remembered for his hard work, dedication, and
passion. He fought to get women students equal time in the gym and to make sure
they had buses to sports events. He was the last of a breed to multi-sport
coaches who - wearing gray sweatshirt, baseball cap and a whistle around the
neck - taught everything from football to tumbling.
In honor of "ED ADAMS", we bring to you the annual Ed Adams
