Lewis breezes to easy victory in Knoxville trials
Houston star Carl Lewis opened defense of his double in the USA Mobil Outdoor Track Championships by winning his 100 meter heat in 10.23 seconds and advancing to the semifinals as the long jump event was canceled for lack of entrants. He, 20, is talked up for four golds at the 1984 Olympics, while Steve Riddick warned Lewis would face a tough peak three-year run. Herschel Walker and Leandro Penalver joined Lewis in the 100 semifinals, and Jim Herring won the 20 kilometer walk. Additional notes include javelin qualifier Bob Roggy, Tom Petranoff, Evelyn Ashford commenting on sluggish conditions, and Merlene Ottey posting the fastest 100 meters in prelims.
