Lofton prepped at George Washington High School in Los Angeles, California where he played quarterback and safety.

Lofton won the long jump at the 1978 NCAA Track and Field Championships with a wind-aided jump of 26 feet 11¾ inches. He won the long jump at the 1974 CIF California State Meet with a jump of 24 feet 3½ inches after placing sixth in this meet the year before.

Douglas Walter Plank (born March 4, 1953 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania) is a former American-football safety and coach in the National Football League. Currently, he is the head coach of the Philadelphia Soul in the Arena Football League.

Plank attended Norwin School District in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. He attended Ohio State University, where he earned three varsity letters as a defensive back under coach Woody Hayes. In 1975 Plank was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the 12th round.

He spent his entire eight-year NFL playing career with the Bears. Plank was the first Bear's rookie to lead the team in tackles, after being drafted out of Ohio State University. He participated in three consecutive Rose Bowls under legendary coach Woody Hayes. Plank was a favorite of Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan for his hard hitting and aggressive style, so that he named his defense the "46 defense" after Plank's jersey number. Plank was considered one of the hardest hitting safeties in the game. That effort took a physical toll and he retired before the Bears reached their peak in 1985. Plank and Gary Fencik were dubbed "The Hit Men", a fact referenced by Fencik in 1985's The Super Bowl Shuffle.

That distance was obsoleted shortly thereafter by the NFHS, but also qualified for the record of the replacement 4x400 metres relay. Later that record was broken by teams including some of the younger sisters, then at Kennedy High School (Los Angeles). Sherri was the California High School Athlete of the Year at Kennedy in 1980. Also in 1980 she was named the named the national Girl's "High School Athlete of the Year" by Track and Field News.
