Send feedbackThanks for featuring Kenn Clapp ’40 and his amazing track achievements. His thrilling IC4A victory over USC’s Payton Jordan is one of the top Brown individual moments in history. The iconic photos were amazing, amplifying the story and capturing all of the historical context of that May day in 1939. Without question, Clapp would have been a 1940 Olympian in Tokyo had the war not intervened.
