If you watched any television in the last 50 years, you probably saw an advert made by my grandpa, Mike Dyble, who has died after a sudden brain haemorrhage, aged 84. You probably still remember it too. Perhaps it was the Hippo and Duck double act for Silentnight; or perhaps the Solvite stuntman, soaring across Miami beneath a helicopter, held in place only by the power of Solvite wallpaper paste. Mike had a knack for ideas that stuck.
Celebrating A Century of NCAA Track & Field Championships
UGA’s Torrence Made NCAA History With Double
It was finally Gwen Torrence’s time in the spotlight.
The Georgia senior was looking for her first title at the 1987 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, having been runner-up in the 100 and 200 meters the year before.
Torrence got two.
In both races, Torrence was also looking to avenge recent losses, having finished third in the 100 and second in the 200 at the SEC Outdoor Championships three weeks earlier.
Goal No. 1 was accomplished in Friday evening’s 200 final. Alabama’s Lillie Leatherwood lined up one lane inside of Torrence, who needed to improve her curve running from the SEC race where Leatherwood’s 22.38 beat Torrence’s 22.49.
