Here's a question that will tap your memories. It sure hit mine when I found this two year old article from the Huffington Post and aol.com. What two men, college roommates at the time, both broke world records in field events within a half hour of each other at the same meet? It's a sad story for both and one that I never expected to see, yet the memories of some of it are coming back.
