Olympics Preview Fails to Produce Standout Performer
Lincoln July 7 The 29th National AAU meets failed to yield a clear Olympic standout. No world marks or Olympic records were threatened. Steve Seymour set a new American javelin mark at 248 feet 10 inches but well short of the world record. Herb McKenley won the 400 meters in 47.1 seconds, though not at Olympic pace. Bill Mathis led Illinois with a 10.5 in the 100, far from world standards. Six juniors and seniors opted to tour Europe this summer as part of an American team, including Lawler Stone Dillard Smith Gordien and Mathis.
