WILBUR THOMPSON Best Performance: -56'2" ' A¢hievement Points; 46 , r (. t ,' ~ \ • I - Wilbur "Moose" Thompson won the fitst Olympi ~ shot put gold meda_! atter the · war. At th,e ~ge of 27 the _ex staff-sergeant reached · 56'2" for a personal best and Olympic , record. This was Thompson's greatest moment in e~.e:cyway because he never won another major competition, placing only 3rd in ·the . AAU'finals of 194S·.and '1949. f'\ftet 1948 Moose never reached the heights again though in , a brief come-back in 1952 he did plac~ 5.th 1il the Olympic trials. Some may s~y that Thompson was.lucky ~o win at Wembley p_ecauseof Fqn .. 1 ville's injury but on the day he was the best and that ~ the long runis what coun~s ~ost.

Sixty feet looked a mere formality for this big, fast putter but h~ did not compete at ,all -through 1958. Owen can be said to have had only two years of real competition and thus it is not easy to rank him among all-time greats but these days even 59~ is fast becom- \ ing ·routine among world-class performers and Owens· has only reached this t~rget ,twice. _ '- .~ , '1 I ' ·\ . \ 2nd AAU !957 1- , 3,, 10th World List ,., , ,, r 1956:, 1 3rd NC.{\A 1856 , f ~ 3rd World List , \ r , 1957 8). ~ 1st NCAA 1957 · 3 · 3rd U.S. List '( ~. - 1957 · 3 Put:s.' over 57' 4 ._-- ' -~ · , , , 1 '7th All·TimeW.orld List, .1958 / I \ Puts over s·s, : 4 ,' · , 8 14 ~ 1 1 y ,i ~ ( f}' Ir ) l I' j I I \ t , I J \, I I\, \1 ' !,.J- y',, I ''\ ' I ) '\ \' \ ' t \ \ \ I (/'; I C ' 16.

Not being a collegiate athlete in these years, Mayer was \,Ulableto give enough time to training and ·so improvement was a slow vrocess. Honors 1came hi~ way in the form of champioris~p wins not ~tall, but he did gain second place in the AAV in 1948 and 1.953 andt~d spot,.in 1952. This record shows the. span of Mayer•s ~' , career, ,ending in 1955~,-the highligh~ of which was in th~ Oly,mpic trials of 1952,when he hit ,·. 56'7!" foi:the best put of ,his lUe only to lose to Jim Fuchs by 4".
