VOLUMiIII a WJUER 7 COLUMBJSI OKIO YOUIDSTILL DOMINANrAT. 50 KM
Smithtown, N.Y., Sept. 20-Larry Young shewed once again that he is in a class all his own among U,S. walkers over the 50 Kmdistance as he easi.17 won the ?-ationa.l title today. In 1966, Larry walked hie first 50 in Chicago, winning the National title,after a close race with Alex Oakley, in 4:38:24 , Since that time he has been beaten only once b7 his country men, that in the 1967 Lugano Cup, a hastily arranged trip that found him well rut of shape and beaten soundly by Goetz Klopfer and Jim Clinton after a too fast first 25. Between that first race and today's, he has won two Pan-American Gold medals and two Olympic Bronze medale.
I.O C, (.)"1 C) In today's race, with trur lugano Cup berths on the line, · and Young 0 ~ -.....J -0 C, . already slated for the Pan-Am 20 Km, no one saw fit to even attemrt to CZ.I -'· ro - PJ 0.. c...., challenge him. As Larry went through 5 Km in 25:05, he already had a lO l).l 0 minute ard 28 seconds on Bob a:iwman and 2:33 on the rest of the field, C: ~ :::r ro ::, When he increased his pace to 49:39 at 10 Km, I:bwman, who was destined .. Vl to drop out,was better than 4 minutes down, and a large pack o! some l3 M-Vl ::z. :::r walll:ers, all walking rat her conservativeLy with thoee !our trips to France -'• in .mind, was nearly 7 minutes back. -< ~ --' --' --' -'• Larry held on to his eub-4:10 pace through 35 Km,whichhe passed tn -.....J ::, N lO 2:54:32, At that point, the ratherlone, gradual grades on the suppose~ en flat 2.43 mile loop started to get to him. Enjoying a 15 minute lead, he deliberately slowed d~ r ather than risk injury and finished in a very respectable 4:18:56; hie first 50, I believe, since Munich.
That large, competitive pack at the 10 Km mark included iugie Hirt, John Knifton, Tcm Knatt, Ray Saners, Paul Ide, Dan O'Connor, Hank Klein, Ron Daniel, Glenn Sweaxey, Ron Kulik, and Bob Faleiola. Actually, Ide was abQ.lt 25 seconds l:e.ck with Bob Rosencrantz and Bill Waller. Only l3 seconds back of them were Al Schrik, Allen Price, and Max Gould.
. The pace hotted up a bit the next 10, b.lt there were 11till 9 people within l~ seconds of each other as H4 rt, Knifton, Knatt, and c•connor went· through in 1:48:59 , Close behind were Klein, Sweazey, Daniel, Somers, Ide, ard Kulik. At 30 Km, Hirt, Knifton, Knatt, Scmers, Daniel, and Sweazey were step .,for step in 2: 42: 27, with only Klein hanging close a half-minute back. At this points everyone b.lt Hirt, Knatt, and Knifton started to !eel the J!l,Ce and to drop back. As Augie held his pace, he had 2 seconds on TOllland 15 on John at the 35 Kmmark. John battled l:e.ck and was on even terms again at 40, with Knatt now also dropping away, Over the final 10, ._,1.Augie ·managed to accel~rate 111;1.ghtl.yand Knifton coul~L,~ot reepond. When .. Jl>hn Wl8 cautioned at about 45, Hirt moved even turthe~ and finished nearl,y 3 minutes clear in an excell~mt 4:30:50. Th.is was b7 tar Augie's • -: ~s t ,,race to date.
