His failure was blamed on the short runway, forcing Seagren to start his run-ups on the banked track. Bill Gaines won the men's 60 yards, which he did while borrowing the running spikes of Wyomia Tyus. The attendance was considered light, at only 5,264 people though tickets cost as much as $6.Records Tumble in AAU Track; Windup Tonight https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-san-francisco-examiner-records-tumbl/153726613/ The San Francisco Examiner 21 Aug 2024 26 4 Mar 1967 The women's championships marked the first time that the mile run was contested.
