Soviet pole vaulter Gennadiy Gusyev - 1973 USA v. USSR Indoor
Meet in Richmond VA
My law school classmate, Ron Draper, competing in
the Pan African International Meet in 1971. He was rated sixth best hurdler in
the world by Track and Field News at that time. He was one of the many world
class track athletes at North Carolina Central University coached by Dr. Leroy
Walker (who was USA Olympic coach in 1972). Ron was a gifted athlete whose
technique was as good as any hurdler.
