Ryan Wins But Not Geared for World Mark at L A Games
Ryan wins the half mile at the Los Angeles Times International Games as Pacific stars set world and American marks. John Penney vaults to 17 feet 6 1 2 inches, Ron Clark sweeps 5 000 and 10 000, and the U S 1 600 relay cuts a world record off by one second. But decathlon veterans Russ Rodge and Bill Toomey push toward a possible world mark in the 1500 meters, with Toomey finishing strong and Hodge winning at 8 230 points while Toomey ends with 8 219. Ryan, previously clocking a Berkeley mile in 51 3, struggles through the 1 46 2 half and 1 45 5 800, saying he did not expect a record as pacing faltered and fatigue set in.
