Since that time the mark has been bet tered by Derek Ibottson and Elliott, but both men report edly used "pacers" and the International committee is loath to accept such marks.

The two top Ameri cans were Bill Dellinger of the Air Force, who finished third in 13:40.1; and little Max Truex of USC, clocked in 13:47.
