Joyner-Kersee, Aouita impress at NY GP

Lewis’ leap year’s longest legal jump
NEW YORK. May 25: Six-lime Olympic champion Carl Lewis caught a relatively calm moment on a wi -
ndy day and sailed a worldleading 8.56 metres (28 feet, one inch) in the long jump at the New York Grand Prix athletics meeting on Sunday, reports Reuter
Lewis also had a wind-aided jump of 8.72 metres (28 feet. 7-1/2 inches) to win the competition and said he felt he could have Jumped farther except for a long delay while officials . attended to fellow American Llewelyn Starks, who broke his right leg on his third Jump and had to be remove on a stretcher.
"I Just couldn't get into It after that." said Lewis, who took only one more leap.
His performance paled in comparison to world record holder Mike Powell's wtnd-aided leap of 8.90 metres (29 feet. 2-1/2 inches) two weeks ago, but Lewis said he was not concerned.
"My thoughts were that Mike would Jump 29 feet again," said Lewis, who lost to Powell's world-record Jump at the 1991 World Championship and will not face his longtime rival until next month's U S Olympic trials.
"My focus is to Jump farther than I have ever jumped," Lewis said.
World heptathlon record holder Jackie Joyner-Kersee won two events within minutes. leaping 7.17 metres (23 feet. 6-1/4 Inches) tn the long jump and running the lOOmetre hurdles In 13.16 seconds — both into a wind of 1.4 metres per second.
Afterward Joyner-Kersee. the 1988 Olympic champion in the heptathlon and long Jump, said she might try to make the U.S Olympic team tn the hurdles as well next month.
Olympic 400 metres champion Steve Lewis and sprinters Mike Marsh and Owen Torrence also ran Impressively
into the wind, and world 1.500 metre record holder Said Aouita of Morocco continued his comeback with a final-stride victory In the mile.
Steve Lewis took the men's 400 in 44.85 seconds. Marsh won the men s 200 in 20.10 seconds and Torrence finished the women's 200 in 22.56 seconds despite a headwind of 1.3 metres per second in her race.
Aouita's winning mile time, three minutes. 58.20 seconds, was slow by his standards, but how he won was impressive.
With lOO metres to go he looked like a beaten man. but at the last moment he was able to pass American John Trau-mann for the victory.
Still. Aouita was not sure he was regain enough of his speed of previous years to test the world's best at 1,500 metres in Barcelona.
"I must try another mile or 1,500 and come close to a world record to make me decide I Jiave enough speed for the 1,500” Aouita said.
Otherwise he will try the 5,000 at the Olympics.
Tony Decs topped a world-class high hurdles field In 13.50 seconds with Roger Kingdom, the world record holder who is recovering from surgery, second In his first major race of the season.
Former world record holder Leroy Burrell won the 100 metres in 10.36 seconds, also into a wind, and Kevin Young won the 400 hurdles in 48.71 seconds.
