BARCELONA ’92 OLYMPICS: DAY 3 : MITCHELL WANTS LEWIS’ LUSTER

Dennis Mitchell of Gainesville, Fla., won the 100 meters in the U.S. track and field trials, but he still feels as if he has to eat two-time Olympic champion Carl Lewis’ dust.

“He still has a lot of things I would like to have,” Mitchell said during a news conference Monday. “If he walked into this room right now, you would all dart away to talk to him. I’d like for you to stay here and talk to me.

“He’s earned it. But just because he’s earned, it doesn’t mean I can’t. When I leave the sport, I want people to remember me. I don’t want to be a one-night stand kind of thing.”

This a daily roundup of Olympic-related items from reporters in Barcelona from the Los Angeles Times, Newsday, Baltimore Sun and Hartford Courant, all Times-Mirror newspapers.
