TWO CHAMPS MEET Phil Mulkey congratulates Jim Ryun on his recordbreaking mile run.
The 34-year-old school teacher said last year that he would not be back, but he did come back and for the eighth time won the decathlon at the Kansas Relays.
Teacher returns, wins
Phil Mulkey, a physical education teacher in Birmingham, Ala., won the ten-event decathlon with 7,110 points. His total this year was 30 points better than last year's and only 370 points below his 1962 Relays record of 7,480.
Mulkey was surprised by his performance—'I thought I was crazy when I started this year, but I've done pretty well. I threw the shot and discus the best I have in the 12 years I've been coming here," he said.
In the final tally of winners of the individual events, Mulkey took first in the broad jump (23'-3") the shot put (51'-111_2"') the discus (157') and the javelin
HIS ONLY disappointment came when he was only able to clear the pole vault at 12'-6". Last year he did 13'-9" and cleared higher than that during Saturday's warm-up.
throw (186-'1"). He was second in the pole vault and 110-meter high hurdles. He tied for the second best height in the high jump.
Bob Flockhart of Colorado State University, competing in his first decathlon, was second with 6.815 points. He won the pole vault at 14-6" and the high jump at 6-3". He took second in the javelin throw and tied for the second best time in the 100-meters.
KENNETH MORRIS, Oklahoma State Track Club, won the 100-meters (:10.8), the 1500-meters (4:35.2) and the 400-meters (:48.3). He was fourth in total points with 6,668.
Norm Johnston, unattached,
was the winner of the 110-meter
high hurdles with a time of :15.2.
He had 6,288 points for sixth
place.
Third place went to Arvesta Kelly of Lincoln University (6,772); fifth place to Don Ellis, Oklahoma (6,494), and seventh place to Jim Ratzlaff, unattached (5,592). Steve Rogers, unattached,
who was second last year, had to withdraw from competition because of a pulled muscle he received in the high jump.
MULKEY WAS a great help to the other contenders in the decathlon. He encouraged them, pointed out their mistakes and told them how he did it.
"It takes years to learn how to run the decathlon right. For 48 hours, you have to live and be like a wild animal," he told them.
Mukley said Saturday he was glad it was all over, but he did not say or sure he would not be back next year.
