Edwin Corley Moses (born August 31, 1955) is a retired American track and field athlete who won gold medals in the 400 m hurdles at the Olympics in 1976 and 1984. Moses won 107 straight finals (122 consecutive races) between 1977 and 1987, setting the world record four times. His overall winning percentage of 95.7 is the highest of any man who has competed in more than one Olympic event. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but grew up in West Chester, a suburb of Philadelphia. He attended Archbishop Wood Catholic High School in West Chester before going on to Yale University, where he ran for the Yale Bulldogs track team. At Yale, he became only the third man in history to win the NCAA Men's Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championship in both the 110 meter hurdles and the 400 meter dash. He did so in 1975 and '76. He also won the Indoor National Championships in 1978 and 1979. After graduating from Yale with a degree in economics, Moses turned down an opportunity to compete for the United States in the 1980 Moscow Olympics to focus on his marriage. He married his high school sweetheart, Susan Schroth, and had two children with her: a daughter, Emma, and a son, Edwin Jr. In 1989, Susan Moses filed for divorce after 14 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce was granted that same year.
