1967_06.19_larry_lewis_shamokin_news_dispatch_mon__jun_19__1967_p13.jpg Here is an oldie from 1967. It states that 100-year-old runner Larry Lewis runs 6.7 miles in 37 minutes. That is sub-6 minute pace!

I remember him ...he was on The Tonight Show once...

LOL. Was that downhill, on roller skates? The M80 world record for a single mile is 6:22. 11:56 for M95.

That's clearly just a typo, not cluelessness. Towards the end of the article, they give the correct year when he won gold.

Here's a new one, when I was looking up info on Gerry Ashworth, Olympic 1964 sprinter. This was included in his bio in a website titled " International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame" :

" He set the World Record for 100 yards, 9.4 in 1962, and matched it again in 1964. "
