Uphill 100 Yard Dashes?
December 4, 2025
Looking at this picture of Palos Verdes High School, I wonder if the track is not level. The 100 yard dashes were run along the south side of the track in the counter clockwise direction.. which sure looks uphill to me. The 220s began on the north side of the track, but finished a bit beyond where the 100s finished. My leg of the 440 relay — the anchor leg — also finished on this side of the track.
My times (and records!) might have been better on a level track, don’t ya think?
I was robbed.
I need a surveyor to tell me otherwise.
