1991 U.S. Men's 200m List

[ianb]

Further to Afterburner's pleas for help on the 400m, here's an indirectly related question on the 200m.

Does anyone know the venues and dates for these performances in 1991 (some of the answers may be in T&FN but my collection from that year is incomplete)...

20.50 - Jason Rouser (before 14 May)
20.57 - Kevin Braunskill (before 14 May)
20.58 - Michael Bates (before 14 May)
20.69 - Ron Clark (before 18 May)
20.70 - Ed Lovelace (before 29 May)
20.70 - Tommy Walker (before 29 May) - maybe this was wind-aided
20.71 - Michael Bates (before 13 April)

Thanks in advance for any contributions to complete the data !

Bates 20.71 -- Tucson 3/23 (wind -1.4)

Lovelace's best that year was 20.82 on May 4. Later in the month he ran 20.83 (2) at the PAC-10 behind Michael Bates - who ran 20.70 - this may be where the confusion around a 20.70 for Lovelace arose

Thanks to all for the helpful feedback. A few of the marks (20.69 by Clark, 20.70 by Lovelace and 20.70 by Walker) came from this site...

This shows the "heat sheets" from the NCAA Champs and the previous best for the season for each entrant. Hence it's slighlty disappointing to see that a couple of these may be incorrect or wind-assisted.

Afterburner has confirmed that the 20.69 by Ron Clark and 20.70 by Tommy Walker were (very) wind aided from Mt. Sac on 20 Apr 1991.

This site...

...shows a "legal" best of 20.71 by Ronnie Green at Mt. SAC in 1991. I realise there are multiple races at Mt. SAC but I wonder if this really was legal, given the strong wind assistance for other marks that day. Does anyone happen to have the full results for Mt. SAC 200s from 1991 ? (The earliest I can see using Google is 1993 !)

Thanks in advance
