Hooper was born in Fort Worth, Texas,[2] where in 1949 he graduated from North Side High School. He went on to attend Texas A&M University and won the NCAA shot put title in 1951. By the time he graduated from college, he had a wife and two children. He competed for the United States in the 1952 Summer Olympics held in Helsinki, Finland in the shot put. Hooper's last throw was just two centimeters away from winning the gold medal: Parry O’Brien's shot put measured 17.41 (57' 1 1/2"), while Hooper's measured 17.39m (57' 3/4") Hooper won the silver medal.[3] In the Olympic trials, Hooper had beaten O'Brien with an almost mirror image of the Olympics, 17.41m listed as (57' 1 3/8") while O'Brien shot putted 17.38 (57' 1/2"). It was O'Brien's last defeat before an unprecedented 116 straight victories over the next 3 years, 364 days.[4][5] Both athletes left Jim Fuchs, the World Record holder at the time, relegated to third place with a 17.36m. That ended Fuchs' string of 88 consecutive victories that dated back to 1949.[3] He was inducted into the Texas Track and Field Coaches Hall of Fame, Class of 2016.[6] References1. ^[https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/dallas-tx/clarence-hooper-7966340 Darrow Hooper's obituary] {{Footer USA Track & Field 1952 Summer Olympics}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hooper, Darrow}}{{US-athletics-Olympic-medalist-stub}}2. ^{{cite Sports-Reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/ho/darrow-hooper-1.html |title=Darrow Hooper |date=November 28, 2015}} 3. ^1 https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summer/1952/ATH/mens-shot-put.html 4. ^http://www.usatf.org/statistics/champions/OlympicTrials/HistoryOfTheOlympicTrials.pdf 5. ^http://articles.latimes.com/2007/apr/23/local/me-obrien23 6. ^http://ttfca2.wixsite.com/txtfhalloffame/inductees 8 : 1932 births|2018 deaths|American male shot putters|Olympic silver medalists for the United States in track and field|Athletes (track and field) at the 1952 Summer Olympics|Olympic track and field athletes of the United States|Texas A&M Aggies men's track and field athletes|Medalists at the 1952 Summer Olympics |
