Olympic legend Carl Lewis returns to Wichita, where his 1982 record still stands

Sure enough, nearly 40 years later, Lewis still owns the Cessna Stadium record in the men’s long jump with a mark of 27 feet, 6¼ inches set in 1982. When he saw the year, the memories started rushing back to Lewis when he was competing in the summer for the Santa Monica Track Club.

Head coach? Maybe Coach Burrell caught pneumonia and passed away from the dousing after the conference win.
