Cannon ran the world record holder Bobby Morrow at the texas relays and ran the same time 9.4 in the 100 YD dash. He also ran the 220 Yd Dash and ran the final leg one both the 100 and the 220 YD relays I think he only placed 2nd in the Shot put....He was 15 lbs off the Olympic record in the Military press.I dont think he was ever beat in the 100 Yd. Dash in the SEC

I think it was technically the clean & press, but that's basically the same thing, since most anybody will be able to clean more than they can press.

They changed it to clean & jerk in the early 70's after the Soviet lifters kept arching their backs way too far backward. The thing started turning into a contortionist event...
