sports Salazar shatters record Former Duck runner wins New York Marathon NEW YORK (AP) - Former Oregon running star Alberto Salazar, who boldly predicted he would break the world record, shattered the men's world mark Sunday in the New York City Marathon The soft-spoken, confident Salazar, in only his second marathon — he also won the New York City event in 1980 — clipped more than 20 seconds off the men's record, covering the 26-mile, 385-yard course in 2 hours, 8 minutes. 13 seconds Allison Roe, who won the 1981 Boston Marathon only to be suspended for running in a professsional race and later reinstated, sliced more than 12 seconds off the women's record with a time of 2 25:29 The previous men's mark was 2 08 33 6. by Derek Clayton of Australia set May 30, 1969 at Antwerp Belgium The previous women's record was 2:25 41 3, by Grete Waitz of Norway in Iasi year s New York City Marathon The injured Waitz had to drop out of this year s race between the 14- and 15-mile points "I dreamed of a world record, but not of two," said a jubilant Fred Lebow, the race director Salazar, a 1981 graduate of the University, had put himself on the spot by predicting that he would smash the world record, with a time of 2:08, or possibly 2:07 He wasn't far off I opened my big mouth (again) this year,” said the 23-year-old Salazar, who a year ago had said he could break 2:10 in his first marathon, and beat that with a clocking of 2 09 41. "A lot of people would have been disappointed if I had not done it." He did it — convincingly Biding his time behind the fast early pace set by Louis Kenny of Ireland, the deceptively strong, 6-foot, 144-pound Salazar wait ed until the 16-mile mark. At that point, Kenny had faded and Salazar was dueling Mexico's Jose Gomez, a first time marathoner, and Poland s Ryszard Marczak for the lead Then, Salazar, who came to the United States with his family when he was 2, put on a remarkable burst He ran the next mile in an unofficial 4:33 It put him into the lead — and more than 20 seconds ahead of record pace After that, the smooth-striding Salazar pulled away from the record field of 16,000 entrants and his only challenger was the clock "I knew I would have to start pushing,” he said I picked it (the pace) up and then I was confident I would do it ” i 1 wmm He was unchallenged the rest of the way, and as he crossed the finish line in Central Park, he was mobbed by a horde of well wishers.
