1980. 41
correct on George Horine - 1912 bronze medal in the high jump
according to "Stanford Home of Champions" your most recent guess of 41 is going the wrong way

This Stanford Olympian finished fourth in the long jump in the Olympics. He did, however, win a gold medal in another Olympic sport.
Who was the Olympian, what was his main (non-Olympic) sport, and in which sport did he win a gold medal?

Would that have been Ledecky in London? She would have been 15 and 4+ months at the time. Of course, she wasn't a Stanford athlete yet.
