...meters. Bespectacled Ironman Hayes Jones, 22, of Pontiac, Mich., recalled the days when versatile Harrison Dillard won his specialty-the 110-meter high hurdles-with ease, ran an excellent leg for the winning U.S. 400-meter relay team, then filled in for ailing Sprinter Paul Drayton and placed second in the 100-meter dash.

(Dyrol Burleson of Oregon turned in the nation's fastest collegiate mile this week, a fabulous 3:57.6) Paranya, it should be noted, was a sprinter in high school, and has been timed at 21.5 for the 220.
