Moses Loses 400-M. Hurdles

Edwin Moses lost his first 400-meter hurdle race in 10 years today after a record 126 consecutive victories, finishing second to fellow American Danny Harris in Madrid’s fifth annual outdoor track and field meet.

Moses, the Olympic and world champion and world-record holder, tripped at the last hurdle and was beaten for the first time since West German Harald Schmid led him home on Aug. 26, 1977, in a meet in West Berlin. Moses won the 400-meter gold medals in the 1976 and 1984 Olympics. Harris, who competed for Iowa State, was the silver medalist in the 1984 Olympics.
