Elzie Coleman's Simplot 400

John Dye's pix of national record


Elzie Coleman 45.92 !!!

Elzie Coleman was introduced as the national record holder in this event, a 46.58 clocking in the New York Armory at the Hispanic Games January 10. Then he stunned everyone by going that one better. Speeding through one lap in 21.7 (which would have placed him second to Derrick Jones' meet record win in the 200), Coleman smashed his own record by more than half a second as the big Simplot crowd roared.
