OHi VOLUMEXXI 1 NUMBER8 COLUMBUS,OHlD OC'.roBER1985 H!ICE, SCHUELERREPEAT AS TIThISTS- - ANDTHEN SOME Alan Price and Carl Schueler defended their National walking titles at 100 miles and 40 Km, respectively in recent races . Price was winning the title for the sixth time in the eight years the race has been held , Schueler made it three in a row in the 40. Race reports from Bill Hillman and Elliott Denman. Columbia Missouri, Sept. 28-2~A1an Price, J8 of Washington, D. C. and the Poto1713.cValley Seniors Track Club, dontinued his domination of long distance race walking in America by winning the 18th Annual 100 Mile sponso~ by the Columbia Track Club. The race was also the National Athletics &ngress Championship at the distance. Alan's winning time of 20:37:30 was well off his American record time of 18146113 set here last year. With the temperature ranging from the mid-forties (fahrenheit) to about 75, Price and Bob Davidson of Hawaii conducted a highly spirit ed duel fort the first 70 miles. Price increased his lead to about 2 miles in the next hour and secm-ed his sixth gold medal when Davidson faded from contantion. This victory, coupled with las year ' s record breaking performance and a first place in the 1984 TAC100 Km Championship, certainly indicates that Price must be considered the premier long dista nce American race walker of the decade. Sinc e his first 100 mile race walk in 1978, where he broke the American record in 18=57:01, through eight stzaight victories at Colum bia, six TACgold medals in the 100 mile, several 100 Km championships, and thecompletion of his 17th 100 miler, he has been without peer on the North American continent.
