My apologies for the Rojo type thread but I was reading the thread about USC not getting the world record despite running faster than anyone else ever before with 4 US born runners on the team and there was this nugget of info by poster Ghost of Igloi:

"That is correct, if memory serves me well USC had the 440 Yard Relay World Record with Fred Kuller, Earl McCullough, OJ Simpson, and Lennox Miller (Jamaica), about 1968."
And a link to this article:

I'm flabbergasted. Can't believe I or no one else with LetsRun knew this.
Was the yards record way slower than the meters record or was this legit?
