...addition to the 220 record, Awori also broke Landau's mark in the 120 yd. high hurdles; barely edging Hank Hatch in the new record was 14.1 seconds. Awori also tied the most ancient University record on the books when he ran the 100 yd. dash in 9.8 seconds, equalling a mark first set in 1906 and since tied by several men.
