Q&A With Sparks
You have a track record that still stands. What is the record?
I ran a lot of different things, but my record that still stands is in the 4 x 800 outdoor, which I set in 1985 at the Drake Relays. They’ve been trying to break it, but they can’t.

1985 Drake Relay Results 4th 7:20.11 (Robinson, Buchanan, Graham, Horton)
1986 Drake Relay Results 1st 7:20.14 (McNelis, Nobles, Vanwie, Tyler)
1987 Drake Relay Results 7th 7:32.34 (Warth, Nobles, Rogan, Sparks)

Is it possible there was more than just the final run listed in the results for 1985?

Edit:
Looking in the media guide supplement, page 8 lists the 4x800 record as:
1985 7:20.11 (McNelis, Sparks, Nobles, Van Wie)

The time matches the Drake Relays result. Taking another look at the 1985 results, the participants for ND are duplicated for Baylor. None of the four for ND are listed in the splits. That's unfortunate.

I'd be interested to hear what else you find.
