On this day in 1962 at the AAU championships in Walnut, California Villanova great Paul Drayton set a new World Record in the 200 meter dash (20.55 seconds). He would go on to win three AAU titles in the 220 yard dash, run a leg on two World Record 400 meter relay teams, and win both a Gold (4 x 100) and a Silver (200 meters) medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964.
