Lucas spent much of his adult life as a professor at Penn State [University Park, Pa.], recently moving to Columbia, Mo., to be closer to his family. Lucas was born Dec. 24, 1927, in Boston. He was 84. An accomplished athlete in his own right, Lucas finished seventh in the 10,000-meters at the 1952 Olympic Team Trials - just shy of a spot on the United States Olympic Team. He attended Boston University as an undergraduate student, before earning his master's degree at the University of Southern California. He earned his doctorate from Penn State in 1970. Lucas coached Nittany Lion track and field and cross country from 1962 to 1968. Prior to Penn State, he was an assistant coach at the University of Maryland from 1958 to 1962. He officially retired from Penn State in 1996, but continued to teach for many years after as a professor emeritus of kinesiology)
