    May 25, 1935

    3:15 -- 100 Yard in 9.4 (Equal to Wykoff)
    3:25 -- Long Jump record broken
    3:45 -- Straightaway 220 (Broke Wykoff's record)
    4:00 -- 220 Low Hurdles (Broke world record)

    Both 220 yard records beat out their 200-meter equivalents, so he was also given credit for world marks at 200 meters.

    Broke 5 and tied a 6th.
