Description
Daniel Joseph "Danny" Everett is a 400 metre runner from the United States. As a 21-year-old he participated in the 1988 Summer Olympics and won a bronze medal in the individual event and a gold medal with the United States 4x400 m relay. In 1991, he came third in the World Championships' final in Tokyo behind his countryman Antonio Pettigrew and Roger Black from the United Kingdom.
At the 1992 U.S. Olympic Trials in New Orleans, Everett beat a world class field and clocked a time of 43.81 sec, which was then the second-fastest time ever-run in the history of the event. He travelled to the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona as the favourite to win the gold medal, but injured himself before the final.
His personal best for the 200 metres was a respectable 20.08 seconds set in June 1990 at Norwalk.
Everett attended Fairfax High School, where he finished second in the 400 meters at the 1985 CIF California State Meet. His time of 46.37 would have been the state record had it not been surpassed by Chip Rish setting the record a couple of steps ahead of him in the same race.
