Joshua K. Owusu, Track & Field, Angelo State: Owusu was a nine-time All-American and became Angelo State's first track and field Olympian after his career from 1971-74.

      A native of Ghana, Owusu represented his home country in the 1972 Munich games finishing fourth in the long jump. Four years later, he was among the favorites in the long jump in the Montreal games but was unable to compete due to a last-minute boycott by the African nations.

      During his Ram career, he collected six national titles while ASU was a member of the NAIA. He was a three-time NAIA outdoor national champion in the triple jump (1971, 1973-74) and earned three more outdoor national titles in the long jump (1971-72, 1974). In addition, he was a two-time NAIA indoor national champion in the long jump (1972-73). Owusu was a three-time recipient of the Oscar Staha Award (1971-72, 1974) as the top male field performer at the Lone Star Conference meet.

      To this day Owusu holds the ASU records for both the triple jump (54'1.75") and long jump (26'10.75"). Upon the conclusion of his career, he held the top six all-time performances in both events.
