He made two Olympic finals at 800 meters and once tied the world record at 880 yards.As a sophomore at Indiana University, Hornbostel won the 800 meters at the 1932 NCAA Championships in a meeting record time of 1:52.7.[1] As the NCAA Championships were simultaneously an early Olympic tryout meet, he qualified for the Olympic Trials in Stanford, where he placed second behind Edwin Genung and qualified for the team.[2] At the Olympics in Los Angeles Hornbostel won his heat, running 1:52.4 and beating the eventual silver medalist, Alex Wilson of Canada.[3] In the final he placed sixth, again running 1:52.7.[3]Hornbostel repeated as NCAA champion in 1933, beating mile champion Glenn Cunningham by inches as both clocked 1:50.9 for 880 yards.[1][4][5][nb 1] This  equalled Ben Eastman’s world record from the previous year.[4][5][7] Two weeks later Cunningham beat Hornbostel at the national championships in 1:51.8 (800\u00a0m).[8]Hornbostel won the NCAA championship for a third and final time in 1934, this time in 1:51.9 (880 yards).[1] At the Princeton Invitational, however, he was decisively beaten by Eastman, who ran 1:49.8 to break his own and Hornbostel’s record.[9] Hornbostel was some five yards behind in 1:50.7, also under the old record.[3][5]Hornbostel qualified for the Olympics again in 1936, placing second to eventual gold medalist John Woodruff at the Trials in 1:51.3.[10] In the slow and tactical Olympic final Hornbostel finished fifth.[11] After the Olympics he took part in two world-record-setting relays on the same day, running 4\u00a0x\u00a0880 yards in 7:35.8 and 4\u00a0x\u00a0Mile in 17:17.2.[3][12]Prior to the Berlin Olympics, he earned an MBA from Harvard Business School[13]^ 880 yards is 804.672 meters. At that pace, the difference in time between these two distances is about 0.6-0.7 seconds; thus, Hornbostel’s time is worth 1:50.2 or 1:50.3 for 800 meters.[1][6]References[edit]^ a b c d Hill, E.
