Dillard had been inspired as a 14 year-old when he met Owens after his Berlin triumphs, and had become the best hurdler in the world. Unfortunately, he fell in the hurdles at the US Trials. However, he did qualify for the Olympic team in his second event, the 100m, behind the 100m and 100y world record holders, Ewell and Patton. In the Olympic final Dillard, in the outside lane, got a superb start and was never headed. In lane 1, Ewell – who had been world class since 1937 – failed to see Dillard and crossed the line thinking he was the winner. LaBeach just held off the surprising cricket specialist McCorquodale, while Patton was a victim of the nerves which prevent- ed him from ever running in a US championship. Timing shown is offi- cial for the top three, and “adjusted” is the “tenth” electrical time as conveyed by timekeeper Harry Hathway to ATFS president Bob Sparks, with estimated times for all positions based on photo-finish dif- ferentials. Dillard’s 10.5 could be anything between 10.41s and 10.50s.
