Celebrating Black History Month: Russell Blunt

Russ Blunt’s coaching career included four sports and an amazing six decades, but this 1936 graduate of St. Augustine’s College really made his mark in track. He built a dynasty at Hillside High School in Durham, winning 10 state championships in the old North Carolina High School Athletic Conference (NCHSAC) and then winning or sharing several state titles in NCHSAA competition in indoor and outdoor track. During one 12-year period his high school track teams lost only two dual meets and at one point he was acknowledged by USA Today as the oldest active high school coach in the country.
