I was a high school teammate of Milan's in '68, my sophomore year. He was not only a superb T&F athlete, but also an exceptional basketball player. Winning the Golden West Invitational with that 49'11 jump was even more impressive when one considers that Ohio didn't even HAVE the TJ in high school meets that year. He was a high jumper, long jumper and ran on the shuttle hurdle relay team. In order to get him a qualifier for Golden West, the Ohio Track Classic (after the state meet) added the event to the meet in '68. On just a couple of weeks of training, Milan jumped 48'8 in The Classic, then went out to Sacramento where he won the Golden West with that 49'11 jump. Surreal! As for his art, I disagree with your appraisal. This piece, for example, speaks volumes on the state of this nation: https://www.1stdibs.com/art/paintings/abstract-paintings/milan-tiff-state-america/id-a_8380832/Tiff is also quite an artist, though I must admit, as much as I am in awe of his spirit and athletic accomplishments, I'm not enamored with his artwork.
