William Bruce Jenner (born October 28, 1949, in Mount Kisco, New York) is a U.S. track athlete, known principally for winning the decathlon in the 1976 Summer Olympics.
Bruce Jenner attended Newtown High School in Newtown, Connecticut, from Sleepy Hollow High School in North Tarrytown, New York. (Years later, the stadium there was to be named after him, but following an argument where Jenner would not attend fundraisers or be involved in the naming process, the stadium is now called Blue and Gold Stadium.[citation needed]) Jenner earned a football scholarship and attended Graceland College (now Graceland University), but a knee injury forced him to stop playing football and switch to the decathlon. He was mentored by Graceland's track coach L.D. Weldon, who was the first to recognize Jenner's potential and encouraged him to pursue decathlon. Jenner debuted in the decathlon at the Drake Relays in 1970- placing sixth.
