Marsh Sets UCLA Record in 100 Meters

Senior Mike Marsh set a UCLA school record of 10.07 seconds in the 100 meters Saturday in a nonscoring track and field meet at Gainesville, Fla.

Marsh finished second to Florida’s Dennis Mitchell, who ran 10.06 in a race that was just under the allowable limit for wind.

Marsh, a member of the 1988 U.S. Olympic track and field team, won the 200 in 20.42 but was limping after the race. The Bruins’ Steve Lewis, gold medal winner in the 400 at Seoul, also was entered in the 200 but pulled up during the race with a leg injury.

They are doubtful for Saturday’s dual meet at UCLA against LSU.

Other outstanding marks at the Florida meet were a season best of 44.66 for 400 meters by freshman Tyrone Kemp of Florida, a 195-foot toss in the discus by UCLA’s Brian Blutreich and a 212-2 hammer throw by UCLA’s Dave Wilson.
