Corrections made to article about Red Simmons

We recently had a feature article about Red Simmons, the first women’s track coach at Michigan and who recently celebrated his 100th birthday.

Simmons has had an interesting life and is in the athletic hall of fames at Eastern Michigan and Michigan. Our article, however, included some inaccuracies. Simmons, according to Michigan High School Athletic Association records, was not a state champion hurdler in 1928 and he was not part of the 1932 Olympic team.

We’ve updated the article on AnnArbor.com.
