As a junior, Richard Smith was setup man for Alan Webb's
anchor legs on South Lakes' record setting relay teams. As a senior, Smith
became a star in his own right. It started out looking like a wide open
year for 800 meter runners, with Smith, Will Fitts TX, and Paul Cross
FL gjven equal shots at being US#1. Those three came off the turn side
by side at the Nike Indoor Classic, and Richard Smith was best. He stayed
best the whole year, adding the adidas Outdoor Championships at Raleigh
and the USA Junior Nationals at Stanford to his title collection.
Nike Indoor Classic:
Smith beats 5 Paul Cross
and 7 Will Fitts
