Did Creed Haymond hold the 220 yard world record?

Answer 1

It has been a long time since the 220 yard dash was a marquee event and finding records is very difficult. There is one website, http://www.mormonolympians.org/mormon_records, that mentions Creed Haymond as the world record holder in the 220 yard dash at 21.0 seconds. There is no mention when or where this record was set. Jesse Owens later ran the 220 in 20.3 seconds setting a world record on a day he set four world records as a track star at Ohio St.. Creed Haymond set this record in May 1919 while participating in the Annual Meet of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America held at Harvard Stadium in Cambridge MA as a member of the track team from the University of Pennsylvania, of which he was captain.
