Harvey Glance, an Olympic gold-medalist in track & field who later became head coach at both Auburn and Alabama, has died. He was 66.

Auburn University announced his death on Tuesday.

A Phenix City native, Glance at one time held or tied both the junior and overall world records in the 100-meter dash. While at Auburn, he won the NCAA 100-meter and 200-meter championships in 1976, repeated as 100-meter champion in 1977, and helped the Tigers to a pair of SEC Indoor Track & Field team championships.

He earned a spot on the 1976 U.S. Olympic team, and was part of the gold-medal winning 4×100-meter relay team that summer in Montreal. He also made the 1980 Olympic team, but the U.S. boycotted that year’s games in Moscow in response to the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan.

Glance also won gold medals in the 4×100 in the 1979 and 1987 Pan-American Games, the 1985 World Cup and the 1987 World Championships. He was an alternate on the 1984 U.S. Olympic team, but went into coaching after failing to make Team USA in 1988.

He first served as an assistant coach at Auburn for two years before becoming head coach in 1991. He was the University’s first black head coach in any sport.

After coaching the Tigers to a second-place finish at the 1997 NCAA Indoor Track & Field championships, Glance shocked many by moving across the state to become head coach at Alabama.

Glance’s most-famous pupil with the Crimson Tide was Kirani James, who won back-to-back NCAA 400-meter championships in 2010 and 2011. Glance retired from Alabama in 2011 and soon after became James’ personal coach, guiding him to an Olympic gold medal in London in 2012 and a silver in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

Glance was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1996. In 2008, he received a Congressional Gold Medal along with the other members of the 1980 U.S. Olympic team who were not permitted to compete due to the boycott.
