LOS ANGELES TIMES, July 7, 1994
* Leroy Burrell sets new world record - again
* 100-meter dash
* Best title to have (?)
The front page of the sports section has: "Burrell Eclipses 100-Meter Mark", which tells of him recapturing the World Record in this event. A great photo of him crossing the finish line is included. The article continues on an inside page and includes another small photo and a grid showing the world record breaking progression over time. Nice to have in a Los Angeles Times as Leroy was competing as a member of the Santa Monica Track Club.
Other news of the day is found throughout.
All major sections of the newspaper are believed to be present, but it is being offered for the described content. The newspaper was never in circulation as it comes from the personal holdings of the Los Angeles Times.
Note: Leroy Burrell attended high school at Penn Wood High School in Lansdowne, PA, attended college at the University of Houston, and has earned 4 gold medals - one for his participation on the 4x100m relay in the 1992 Olympics (Barcelona).
