Arkansas State University

Hill is one of the best track and field athletes to ever compete at Arkansas State. He competed at the Summer Olympics in Munich in 1972 and won a bronze medal in the 110-meter hurdles event. Hill came to ASU as a high jumper, but quickly found his calling running the high hurdles and after just two years he tied the world record of 13.2 in the 120-yard high hurdles event at the Untied States Track and Field Federation meet in Wichita, Kan. Hill ran a series of races in that meet where clocked times of 13.3, 13.2 and 13.1, but the final time did not count toward a world record because it was wind aided. After competing in the Olympics, Hill went on to serve in the United States Army at West Point where he continued to compete. He returned to A-State for a brief period as an assistant track and field coach, but found his true calling in life working as a counselor in higher education. Hill holds a PHD from the University of Florida in Counselor Education and is now the Senior Vice President for Student Affairs at Iowa State University.
