Re: 400H Trivia

Excellent question! I think Moses had a 47.5 440 from 1975.
Let me guess Glen Davis.

A clue: only guy i ever heard of who got screwed up in a Trials race when a passing-by pigeon pooped right in his eye.

Re: 400H Trivia

Ahah! Boyd Gittins. I think I recall seeing slo-mo replay of that ('68 OT semi? Did they give him a pass into the final?, or did he qualify anyway, with bird poop all over his face?) I was going to guess Gittins yesterday!, but didn't bother.
