I was a sprinter and hurdler. I also sometimes threw the javelin and even the shot and discus. Also the long jump.

I held the Troy University record in the 120 yard (110 meters) HH for 28 years. I think I still hold the 50 yard indoor record as they no longer run that with the change to metric. The 110 meters and 120 yards are so close that records are considered the same.

At one Florida relays I was the first guy over the first 3 hurdles but finished around 6th. A world record holder was in my heat. I always had a good start and could literally run with anyone for the first 20 yards or so.
