He set that record the first record meet in 1971.
I didn`t keep track of how he did with the 56.

Butch, I never met him but his name seems familiar. The only 12.90s I ever ran were at the old Omaha, NB track. They even gave an altitude correction there on top of that! Couldn't believe it. The fastest one we had in div4 back then was Houma,LA. Of course the. Temp & humidity were both always in the nineties when we went there. Best I could go there was 13.flat.
