Michael Lawrence Marsh (born August 4, 1967) is a retiredAmericansprinter, the 1992Olympic champion in the200 m.

Biography

[edit]

Marsh was born inLos Angeles, and attended high school atHawthorne High School inHawthorne, California where he was overshadowed byHenry Thomas, who he joined on numerous championship relays. Marsh, Thomas, Michael Graham and Sean Kelly joined to bring Hawthorne theNational High School Record in the4 × 400 m relay set at theTexas Relays. The team joined to celebrate the silver anniversary of the record in 2010.[1] When Thomas was sidelined with anappendix attack, requiring surgery just before the qualification cycle, Marsh won the 1985CIF California State Meet in the 200 m.[2] He continued running with Thomas atUCLA, his best achievement was a third place at theNCAA Championships. He was inducted into theUCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2016.

Although Marsh could compete with the national class sprinters, he did not manage to qualify for an international event until 1991, when he qualified for the American relay team for the1991 World Championships. Marsh ran in the heats on a team that set the Championship record, but not in the final, which was won by the Americans in World Record time. The next year, Marsh posted a time of 9.93s into a wind of 0.6 m/s at theMt. SAC Relays in Walnut, which using a widely accepted wind/altitude correction calculator adjusted to the fastest ever intrinsic100 m time recorded at that time in history. That was the second of what became a trend, a succession of eight early season outstanding 100 m marks set by Marsh at the Mt. SAC Relays. Marsh was elected into the Mt. SAC Relays Hall of Fame in 2003.[3]

At the 1992US Olympic Trials, Marsh disappointingly finished fourth in the 100 m, not enough for individual qualification, but sufficient to make the relay team. In the 200 m, he placed second toMichael Johnson and qualified for theBarcelona Olympics,.

InBarcelona, Marsh surprised all observers in his semi-final. He cruised through the race, simply securing qualification for the final. His qualifying time, however, was 19.73, just one hundredth of a second slower than the standingworld record (and it was theAmerican Record). This run was remarkable for the fact that he eased off ten metres from the line, stating in later interviews that he hadn't realised how fast he was running and wanted to save some energy for the final, which was to be held only a few hours later.See the race. Unofficial split analysis from video of that run indicates he would have run faster than the world record at the time,Pietro Mennea's altitude-assisted 19.72s, if he hadn't eased off. An improvement of this record was anticipated for the final, but Marsh could not live up to those expectations. He did win the race however, beating early leaderFrankie Fredericks ofNamibia.[4] He did set a world record in the final of the 4 × 100 m, as the American team completed the race in 37.40.

As the reigning Olympic champion, he surprisingly did not medal in the 200 m at the1993 World Championships, placing fourth. His 1994 season went without a win, but he did lead off theSanta Monica Track Club's4 × 200 m relay at theMt. SAC Relays when the team of Marsh,Leroy Burrell,Floyd Heard andCarl Lewis set aworld record in the event that would stand until 2014. He returned strongly in 1995. He won the national championships in the 100 m, and represented his country in that event at the World Championships. There, he disappointed, finishing fifth in the final. The disappointment was complete when the relay team failed to finish the heats after a bad exchange.

In 1996, Marsh managed to qualify for all three sprint events at the1996 Summer Olympics inAtlanta, and he reached the final of all three. In the 100 m, he placed fifth and in his attempt to retain his 200 m title (which was taken by Johnson in a new world record time) he finished last. The American relay team, with Marsh as the third runner, was heavily favoured to take the 4 × 100 m title, but they were surprised by theCanadian team in the final, and had to settle forsilver.

He again qualified for the 100 m final at the1997 World Championships, where he placed last due to a foot injury that required immediate surgery.

In 2021 he was elected into theNational Track and Field Hall of Fame.[5]
