Lawrence Ronald "Larry" Questad (July 10, 1943 – October 29, 2020) was a track and field athlete from the United States who specialized in sprinting events.
He was a mediocre football and basketball player, but excelled at track at Park High School in Livingston, Montana. Questad went on to Stanford University, where he was the 1963 NCAA champion in the 100-yard dash sprint with a time of 9.7 seconds.[1][2] Questad was a three-time All-American in the 100-yard dash, the 220, and the 440. His time in the 220, 20.74 seconds, remains the Stanford record, tied with James Lofton. He is a member of the school's Athletic Hall of Fame.[1]
Questad finished runner-up in both the 100 and 200 yards events at the British 1963 AAA Championships.[3][4]
