His best toss was measured at 202'6½" with others at 198'7" and 195'4.½". But then it was found that the field sloped "about 2½", and "corrected measurements allowing for the slope" were announced 11 11 as 202'6", 198'6 , and 195'4 • The allowable slope is only 1° in 1000", or a drop of one tenth of one percent.

Had a new disc and asked to have it weighed and thus cooled off, or he might have done even better, reports Dick Ganslen,. Oerter said he was fresh because studies kept him from practicing as hard as he had been, and his arm had lots of whip. He said he plans to bear down for several more weeks, then ease up a bit and get the snap back in his arm. He lifted weights only twice that week, instead of his usual three times. He says he has just started getting into the groove. His three record throws were made in the prelims, after which officials took the discus to the post office for weighing, and when it finally was returned to Al he wasn't nearly as sharp ••• The Houston post headline the performance uoerter Shatters Shot Put Record" and the Victoria, Tex. , Advocate had it: "Al Oe:rter' s 202-6 Heave Shatters Javelin Record•'.

"I don't know which one of us will get it, but it's going''. Dave Sime said Joe Cheaney, starter at Big Springs, is the best he ever worked under. "We aren't used to good starters in the East.

  • Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I
    DIVISION I 103 Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I 2001 Championships OUTDOOR TRACK Highlights Volunteers Are Victorious: Tennessee used a strong performance from its sprinters to edge TCU by a point May 30-June 2 at Oregon. The Volunteers earned their third title with 50 points, as the championship-clinching point was scored by the 1,600-meter relay team in the final event of the meet. Knowing it only had to finish the event to secure the point to break the tie with TCU, Tennessee’s unit passed the baton careful- ly and placed eighth. Justin Gatlin played the key role in getting Tennessee into position to win by capturing the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Gatlin was the meet’s only individual double winner. Sean Lambert supported Gatlin’s effort by finishing fourth in the 100. His position was another important factor in Tennessee’s victory, as he placed just ahead of a pair of TCU competitors. Gatlin and Lambert composed half of the Volunteers’ 400-meter relay team that was second. TCU was led by Darvis Patton, who was third in the 200, fourth in the long jump and sixth in the 100. He also was a member of the Horned Frogs’ victorious 400-meter relay team. TEAM STANDINGS 1. Tennessee ..................... 50 Colorado St. ................. 10 Missouri........................ 4 2.
