SUPERE EFFORT

This run CoAstitutes. Brown's fifth ground record at Fenners, and it is perhaps his most superb achievement. Not only did he have to face a keen wind over the first 150 yards, but as he rounded the bend into the finishing straight, hard on the heels of the front markers, he had momentarily to check his speed and then was for ced to run wide to pass the field.

His pace: both at the start and at the finish was incrediblę. It was like watching Jesse Owens again in Berlin.
