Visit by Olympic Gold Medal Winner Greg Bell

Former Olympian and gold medalist, Greg Bell, visited Bon Air and shared his story with our students. Bell was an athlete in the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. He won his gold medal with a 7.83 long jump length during the track and field event. Mr. Bell shared his story with our students and let us see his gold medal and plaque from the Games. Our students posted questions online prior to Mr. Bell's visit. He showed pictures of his track and field career and measured out his gold-medal winning jump on the gym floor for the students to visualize.
