No Jerome?

I now see you have added it in there. Coming from the distance fraternity, I always hesitate before weighing in on sprint stuff but that seemed too glaring.

Jerome who?

BJ is clearly one of the top 5, no matter what he did.

Re: Canadian ? / on US holiday

Harry Jerome has got to be at least the second if not the first.

I was sitting on the infield grass on Friday, July 15, 1960 when 19 year old Harry Jerome ran 10 flat breaking the existing world record and tying Armin Hary's pending 10 flat. The people (coaches and athletes) around me looked at their watches in shock. Most would not reveal the time they had recorded. A good number of the watches read 9.9. Orville Atkins

>Who dated gh's mother.

"Can't resist the name-drop: my mother once dated Percy Williams.... but only once. She said she must have been the first woman who didn't put out on first date (his being an Oly god at the time)."
