Trail Blazer: Carl Lewis sets a gold standard in track and field
The ‘athlete of the century’ has come home to UH to mold new track stars
He lives near the UH campus with his mother, Evelyn, who moved from New Jersey to be with him, and he weighs in at 184 pounds, one pound less than he weighed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. His son, Bakim, 21, last year graduated from basic combat training and now serves in the Army.
