 Manuscript 180LAGRANGE SPORTS AUTHORITY / I TRAIN IN LAGRANGE1992-1997Manuscript Collection No. 180 SOURCE: Chris Joseph, President - LaGrange Sports Authority SIZE: 15 linear feet SHELVING UNITS: 12 storage boxes, 2 artifact boxes, 1 document box, 10 oversized posters PROCESSING: FCJ 2007 HISTORICAL NOTEIn 1991, shortly after Atlanta won their bid to host the 1996 Olympics, LaGrange Mayor Charles Christopher “Chris” Joseph began an initiative to involve the City of LaGrange in the Olympic Games. The “I Train In LaGrange” program, composed of over four hundred community volunteers chaired by Betty Fagundes and Helen Rice, successfully brought hundreds of athletes from forty-two countries to make LaGrange their temporary home. Some even came to train for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.Bobby Reardon, a Troup County native serving on the Atlanta Committee for Olympic Games (ACOG) brought international coach Ron Davis to LaGrange. Davis, who worked with Olympians training in Atlanta in 1988, was hired by Troup County Parks and Recreation Department to coach the international athletes. The International Olympic Committee designated LaGrange as one of the world’s six training centers and LaGrange was selected as the site for the U. S. Olympic 50 K Racewalk Trials. Some athletes, like racewalker Allen James, actually moved to LaGrange. Several countries chose LaGrange as their official training camp. Local companies, the county government, and area churches joined hundreds of community residents by taking active parts supporting and promoting the project. LaGrange College President Walter Murphy put college facilities at the disposal of the program. The public schools began a program called Olympic Ambassadors to involve children in the initiative and to involve the athletes in local schools. Local artist Phil Tompkins designed several posters and marketable goods which helped raise funds for the program. Several community-wide celebrations were held to “Welcome the World” to LaGrange, including joint civic club and community luncheons, a large rally and parade which featured the flags of all forty-two countries, and a Downtown Block Party. The Olympic Torch crossed LaGrange and Troup County with a ceremony on LaFayette Square. Local citizens chosen by the United Way of West Georgia served as torch bearers. The United States Information Agency, which administers several international programs including Fulbright Scholarships, sent inspectors who praised LaGrange as a model of international planning and goodwill. The investigator said there was not another program like it nor any community where the people were so involved in welcoming the world. I Train In LaGrange, and its eventual supervising agency, the LaGrange Sports Authority, gave LaGrange a significant connection to the 1996 Olympics and gave LaGrange a spotlight in the world. SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTEThe collection is divided into four series. One series includes subject files and correspondence from around the world covering the period 1992 to 1997. The Archives has generally maintained the titles used by the LaGrange Sports Authority when they created the files. A series of artifacts includes examples of merchandise, medals, drawings, and posters related to I Train In LaGrange and the Olympic 50 K Racewalk Trials held in LaGrange. The forty-two national flags used in various parades and ceremonies in LaGrange are also part of the artifacts series. Copies of events captured on video tape are included in another series. There is also a series with collected printed materials and scrapbooks of pictures and clippings covering many aspects of the program, many from state, national, and international periodicals. It also includes samples of stationery, booklets, and other printed materialsCONTAINER LISTSERIES I: SUBJECT FILES AND CORRESPONDENCEBox 1Folder 1-6 ACOG Information 1992 – 1995 7 ADM Foods 8 Abiola, Chief Bushorun (Nigeria) 9 Accident / Injury Reports 10 Aerobatic Championships 11 Agabani, Hassan M. 12 Agents for Athletes 13 Airline Corporation 14 Alabama Crimson Classic 15 Alabama Intercollegiates Open 16 Alabama Relays 17 Alexander, R.
