Nice. 34:21 for My Captain!
And he told the truth about his high school PR! What a guy.
Maybe Williams told the truth but Coach Bob embellished a bit. In 1975 no one would have said they ran a 1:58 800m. They wouls have said a 1:59 880, or half mile.

Ummmm, these says everyone automatically converts only y times to m times.
my time for The Hundred sounds a lot better when I don't say yards

Your likely time of 15 seconds for 100 is not impressive as yards or meters.
Nice; thanks.
The 70's were a great time. Makes me a bit nostalgic reading this. And Williams was obviously just an all around good guy.
Glover converted - as do many articles about the late great RW
a 1:59 880-yard time converts to a 1:58 800-meter
"{Williams}... stands as No. 7 on Redwood's all-time for 880 yards with a clocking of 1:59.4. The time converts to 1:58.8 for 800 meters."
"...ran track in high school, including a 1:58.8 800 meters in 1969"

Is there a table for converting? This calculator gives me 1:58.7 http://merv.stanford.edu/runcalc
