Ohio State University Stadium, Columbus, OH, May 2–3, 1930
Tom Warne, the pole vault king of the 1930 season, proved that his world-leading vault of 4.24 (14-4½), achieved at the Drake Relays, was no fluke. The Northwestern University athlete repeated his feat a week later at the seventh annual Ohio Relays.
George Simpson, who rose to the world's elite in 1929, showed improving form by defeating Eddie Tolan and Claude Bracey in the 100-yard dash. The scoreboard displayed a world-leading time of 9.5, a mark that was bettered six times later in the season by other sprinters. Tolan, who finished a couple of meters behind Simpson, in turn narrowly edged Bracey in a centimeter battle, after having lost to him at the Drake and Kansas Relays.
