An Associated Press story on Tolan in 1958 stated: "He would have been a football great as a quarterback, had a knee injury in his junior year in high school not forced him to channel all his energies to track."<a href="#cite_note-Now-5">[5]</a> In his obituary, the Associated Press reported that the coaches at Michigan "talked the pint-sized speedster into going out for track."<a href="#cite_note-Dies-9">[9]</a> Tolan was also quoted as saying, "The track team did a lot more traveling then, so I saw the opportunity to travel on a Pullman and see the country."<a href="#cite_note-Dies-9">[9]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Big_Ten_and_world_sprint_champion">Big Ten and world sprint champion</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Eddie_Tolan&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Big Ten and world sprint champion">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Stephen_Farrell_-1353648506.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Stephen_Farrell_-1353648506.jpg/130px-Stephen_Farrell_-1353648506.jpg" decoding="async" width="130" height="118" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Stephen_Farrell_-1353648506.jpg/195px-Stephen_Farrell_-1353648506.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/Stephen_Farrell_-1353648506.jpg/260px-Stephen_Farrell_-1353648506.jpg 2x" data-file-width="721" data-file-height="654" /></a><figcaption>Tolan's coach, <a href="/wiki/Steve_Farrell" class="mw-redirect" title="Steve Farrell">Steve Farrell</a>, was considered "the greatest professional footracer this country has ever known"</figcaption></figure> At Michigan, Tolan ran track under the mentorship of two of the great sprinters of their generations.

He chewed gum before a race to relieve stress. After accidentally running with the gum in his mouth, Tolan found that he was chewing in sync with his stride. Tolan later began chewing gum as part of his routine, chewing the gum faster when he needed to accelerate his leg movements.<a href="#cite_note-Ages-13">[13]</a> At the Big Ten championships in May 1930, Tolan broke the world's record in the 100-yard dash with a time of 9.5.<a href="#cite_note-World-16">[16]</a> Tolan's performance was accepted by the International Amateur Athletic Federation as the new official world's record.<a href="#cite_note-World-16">[16]</a> Seven weeks after breaking the world's record in the 100-yard dash, Tolan also broke the world's record in the 100 meters race.

Despite the slow start, <a href="/wiki/Dean_Cromwell" title="Dean Cromwell">Dean Cromwell</a>, Chairman of the All American Board of Track and Field, predicted great things for Tolan in his column on 1932's "Olympic Prospects." Cromwell wrote of Tolan: <blockquote>Just as spring warms into summer Tolan slides from the class of mediocre sprinters to that of the champions. He is a slow starter, but when the weather gets warm so does Eddie, and off he goes.<a href="#cite_note-Cromwell-19">[19]</a></blockquote> While press reports regularly referred to Tolan as "stocky," Cromwell took issue with that characterization: <blockquote>Eddie is now 24 years of age, five feet six inches tall and weights about 130 pounds. Although he has always been termed 'stocky' by the press, a comparison of his weight and height will show that he cannot properly be so styled. He is well muscled, though, and in action gives the impression of great running power, with his arms and legs working smoothly and strongly in a machine piston-like manner.<a href="#cite_note-Cromwell-19">[19]</a></blockquote> The <a href="/wiki/1932_United_States_Olympic_Trials_(track_and_field)" class="mw-redirect" title="1932 United States Olympic Trials (track and field)">Olympic trials</a> were held at <a href="/wiki/Stanford_University" title="Stanford University">Stanford University</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Ralph_Metcalfe" title="Ralph Metcalfe">Ralph Metcalfe</a> won both the 100 and 200 meters finals, with Tolan finishing second to Metcalfe in each case. The results meant that the top two American sprinters in the 1932 Olympics would for the first time be African-Americans. As a result, much of the press attention focused on race.
