As a senior at Kansas State University , Swenson won the 880 yards in 1:46.3 at the 1970 NCAA outdoor championships .[2] national (AAU ) championships, narrowly defeating Mark Winzenried as both were timed in 1:47.4.[3] [4] 800 meters , 1:44.8, on July 16, 1970 in Stuttgart in a dual meet between the United States and West Germany ; the time was the fastest in the world that year and a new American record for the metric distance.[5] [6] [note 1] Track & Field News Yevgeniy Arzhanov of the Soviet Union.[8]
In 1971 Swenson only placed third in the AAU outdoor meet (behind Juris Luzins and Jamaica's Byron Dyce ); however, he won gold at the Pan American Games in Cali , running 1:48.08.[3] [6] Olympic Trials Swenson ran 1:45.1, his best time since 1970; he lost to Dave Wottle (who equaled the world record of 1:44.3) and Rick Wohlhuter , but took the third and final Olympic qualifying spot ahead of early leader Jim Ryun .[6] [9] Munich Swenson qualified from his heat, but was disqualified in the semi-finals.[1]
Swenson continued his career for several more years; in March 1975 he joined the International Track Association (ITA), a professional circuit.[10] [note 2] mile run , 3:59.1, in an ITA meet on May 3, 1975; he was the 75th American to run a four-minute mile .[11]
^ The previous record was Jim Ryun 's 1:44.9 from 1966. Ryun's time had been set at 880 yards (804.672 m), and was worth about 1:44.3 for 800 m.[7]
^ At the time, track and field was primarily an amateur sport , and most athletes only received under-the-table money. Professional athletes were not allowed to compete in the Olympics or other amateur meetings.
