Lawrence, KS, April 18, 1925
Nebraska's Roland Locke sprinted to victory in the 100-yard dash in Lawrence with a time of 9.6 seconds (equivalent to 10.5 seconds for 100 meters). The time, set at the Kansas Relays, stood as the world's best for nearly a month until Olympic champion Jackson Scholz shaved off a tenth of a second in North Carolina.
Locke's name became particularly well-known in 1926, when he recorded suspiciously fast times in the 220-yard dash on his home track in Lincoln.
Earl McKeown vaulted 4.03m (13-2¾), which remained the U.S. best for the season. This mark paled in comparison to Charles Hoff's performances. The Norwegian recorded the six highest vaults of the season. McKeown's best was ranked seventh.
Herbert Schwarze tossed the shot put 15.19m (49-10). This stood as the world's best for nearly a month.
