Olympic Medalists in San Diego Indoor Meet

Several Olympic medalists, led by triple gold medal winner Valerie Brisco-Hooks, will compete tonight in the Michelob Invitational indoor track and field meet at the San Diego Sports Arena.

Brisco-Hooks, who won gold medals in the 200- and 400-meters and the 1,600-meter relay, will be joined by triple jump gold medalist Al Joyner; French pole vault gold medalist Pierre Quinon; pole vault bronze medalist Earl Bell, and Billy Olson, the first vaulter to clear 19 feet indoors.

In the mile run, Ireland’s Eamonn Coghlan will face American record-holder Steve Scott and Sydney Maree, who lost by three-hundredths of a second to Coghlan last week in the Vitalis-U.S. Olympic Invitational at East Rutherford, N.J.

Ruth Wysocki will meet Romania’s Maricica Puica in the women’s mile. Wysocki beat Puica, the Olympic champion, in the 3,000 in the Olympic Invitational.

The men’s high jump includes Patrik Sjoberg of Sweden, the Olympic silver medalist; Jimmy Howard, the American indoor record-holder at 7-8, and Dwight Stones, the American outdoor record-holder at 7-8 and two-time Olympic bronze medalist.
