James (Jumbo) Elliott (August 8,1915-March 22,1981) was an American athletics coach, often considered to be one of the greatest of all time. His achievements include producing five gold medals between 1956 and 1968. Elliott, a college track runner of short and middle distances, graduated from Villanova University in 1935 and returned to coach the track team in 1949 until his death in 1981. In that period, his teams won eight national collegiate team titles, while his athletes won 82 NCAA crowns and set 66 world records. He produced a total of 28 Olympic competitors, five of whom won gold medals: Ron Delany (1956, 1500m), Charles Jenkins (1956, 400m), Don Bragg (1960, pole vault), Paul Drayton (1964, 4x100m relay), and Larry James (1968, 4x400m relay). He was inducted into the Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1981.
