| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the University. From page 316: Mel Rosen, left, after twenty-eight seasons as Auburn's head track coach, turned over the reins in 1991 to his most illustrious pupil, Harvey Glance, shown wearing the Olympic Gold Medal he won at Montreal in 1976. Rosen retired from Auburn to become head coach of the 1992 U.S. Men's Olympic Track Team, which won twenty medals, including five golds, at Barcelona for its best showing since 1956. After the Olympics, Rosen returned to assist Coach Glance, with the title of consultant. ... During Glance's first four seasons as head coach, Auburn records were rewritten for eighteen women's events and seven men's events. Glance later became track coach at Alabama.
