Ewell attended John Piersol McCaskey High School in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  McCaskey High School honored Ewell by dedicating their stadium in his name. Ewell was also inducted into the J.P. McCaskey Athletic Hall of Fame during the school’s 50th anniversary year in 1988. Earlier in 1986 he was inducted into the National Track and Field Hall of Fame.[3]Ewell was the state’s greatest high school sprinter-jumper in the mid-1930s, but he first achieved renown while a student at Pennsylvania State University, running the 100 m and 200 m races and winning 12 gold medals and championships in collegiate meets between 1940 and 1942. He also won 11 gold medals in AAU national meets between 1939 and 1948. He was an outstanding long jumper as well, leaping 25 feet 2 inches (7.68 m) in 1942.[2]He served his country in 1941\u20131945, returned to the university, and received his B.S. degree in 1947. He surprised everyone by making the 1948 Olympic team, equaling the world record of 10.2 in the 100 m dash at the 1948 AAU championship, which was also the Olympic trials.At the Olympic Games in London, he thought he had won the 100 m only to learn the victory was given to teammate Harrison Dillard. In the 200 m, Ewell had another close finish and again finished second \u2013 this time to teammate Mel Patton. He was added to the 4 \u00d7 100 m relay when Ed Conwell became sick and the American team rolled to an easy victory. However, the exchange between Ewell and Lorenzo Wright was ruled out of the zone and the American team was disqualified. After viewing a film of the race, however, officials reversed the ruling, and Ewell finally had his Olympic gold medal.[3][4]After the Olympics Ewell lost his amateur status for accepting gifts from his fans, but he continued to compete in Australia and New Zealand as a professional.[1] He also took part in the Scottish Border games circuit during the summer of 1950. He lived most of those weeks in the town of Bathgate. He won one of the most prestigious sprints on the Border Games circuit at Jedburgh. Running off scratch over 120 yards he ran a time of 11.37 secs. He also took part in a special invitation race in August that same year to mark his time in Scotland (run as a handicap race) over 120 yards at the famous Powderhall venue. Ewell from the scratch mark lost narrowly to Albert C Charles (off 12.5 yds).Ewell died in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity.Table of ContentsCompetition record[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Competition record[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]1912: \u00a0David Jacobs, Henry Macintosh, Victor d’Arcy, Willie Applegarth\u00a0(GBR)1920: \u00a0Charley Paddock, Jackson Scholz, Loren Murchison, Morris Kirksey\u00a0(USA)1924: \u00a0Loren Murchison, Louis Clarke, Frank Hussey, Al LeConey\u00a0(USA)1928: \u00a0Frank Wykoff, James Quinn, Charley Borah, Henry Russell\u00a0(USA)1932: \u00a0Bob Kiesel, Emmett Toppino, Hector Dyer, Frank Wykoff\u00a0(USA)1936: \u00a0Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalfe, Foy Draper, Frank Wykoff\u00a0(USA)1948: \u00a0Barney Ewell, Lorenzo Wright, Harrison Dillard, Mel Patton\u00a0(USA)1952: \u00a0Dean Smith, Harrison Dillard, Lindy Remigino, Andy Stanfield\u00a0(USA)1956: \u00a0Ira Murchison, Leamon King, Thane Baker, Bobby Morrow\u00a0(USA)1960: \u00a0Bernd Cullmann, Armin Hary, Walter Mahlendorf, Martin Lauer\u00a0(EUA)1964: \u00a0Paul Drayton, Gerry Ashworth, Richard Stebbins, Bob Hayes\u00a0(USA)1968: \u00a0Charles Greene, Mel Pender, Ronnie Ray Smith, Jim Hines\u00a0(USA)1972: \u00a0Larry Black, Robert Taylor, Gerald Tinker, Eddie Hart\u00a0(USA)1976: \u00a0Harvey Glance, Lam Jones, Millard Hampton, Steve Riddick\u00a0(USA)1980: \u00a0Vladimir Muravyov, Nikolay Sidorov, Aleksandr Aksinin, Andrey Prokofyev\u00a0(URS)1984: \u00a0Sam Graddy, Ron Brown, Calvin Smith, Carl Lewis\u00a0(USA)1988: \u00a0Viktor Bryzhin, Vladimir Krylov, Vladimir Muravyov, Vitaliy Savin\u00a0(URS)1992: \u00a0Michael Marsh, Leroy Burrell, Dennis Mitchell, Carl Lewis, James Jett\u00a0(USA)1996: \u00a0Robert Esmie, Glenroy Gilbert, Bruny Surin, Donovan Bailey, Carlton Chambers\u00a0(CAN)2000: \u00a0Jon Drummond, Bernard Williams, Brian Lewis, Maurice Greene, Tim Montgomery, Kenny Brokenburr\u00a0(USA)2004: \u00a0Jason Gardener, Darren Campbell, Marlon Devonish, Mark Lewis-Francis\u00a0(GBR)2008: \u00a0Keston Bledman, Marc Burns, Emmanuel Callender, Richard Thompson, Aaron Armstrong\u00a0(TTO)2012: \u00a0Nesta Carter, Michael Frater, Yohan Blake, Usain Bolt, Bailey-Cole\u00a0(JAM)2016: \u00a0Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake, Nickel Ashmeade, Usain Bolt, Jevaughn Minzie, Kemar Bailey-Cole\u00a0(JAM)2020: \u00a0Lorenzo Patta, Marcell Jacobs, Fausto Desalu, Filippo Tortu\u00a0(ITA)  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki24\/barney-ewell-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Barney Ewell – Wikipedia"}}]}]
