Wes Santee of Kansas cited the wind as a major factor, noting perfect conditions are required for a sub four. The event drew about 1,375 competitors and noted Pan American champion entrants, though one was sidelined by an auto crash. Jack Davis, the high hurdles king, sustained head and knee injuries in a San Francisco area accident and was sent to Bremerton.
