Eugene, OR, June 1, 1929
U.S. champion and Olympic silver medalist Steve Anderson was on top form at the Pacific Coast Conference Northern Section meet in Eugene. His time in the 120-yard hurdles set a world's best of 14.4, though it was not recognized due to excessive tailwind. Track and Field Performances Through the Years records the result among the legal performances.
Wind also seemed to be a factor in the discus area, as Ed Moeller, ranked second in the world, threw 46.90 (153-10), and his extra throw flew exactly a meter further.
Eugene fostered middle- and long-distance traditions even in the 1920s. Rufus Kiser defeated Ralph Hill in the mile; Hill would later be edged by Lauri Lehtinen in the 5,000 meters at the Los Angeles Olympics three years later. Kiser was ranked fifth in the world in the mile in 1929.
