Re: KD starts fast with1:45.24
"his 1:43.5 in Eugene was a world record for 880yds.
its a hayward field 800 record that never is listed in meet programs?"
RW ran 1:44.1 for the 880y, but they didn't have a clock set up to time the 800m part, hence his time on the all time list appears as 1:43.5+ (converted from yards). There is a pic of the race on the cover of the July 1974 T&F News in the archives section.
