Should I assume that the following report is referring to a more "modern day record" in the javelin?  Bill Schmidt won the 1969 North Texas Relays with a throw of 221-11; had a 1970 State of Texas best throw of 260-10 and went on to record a throw of 272-11 1/2 in a meet in February of that same year.

FORT WORTH – Javier Lopez-Ibarra and Bailey Ashmore broke school records in javelin and pole vault to highlight track and field’s first outdoor meet of the season Saturday at the TCU Invitational at Lowdon Track and Field Complex. 

Lopez-Ibarra, on his first attempt, threw a school-record in javelin at 66.55 meters (218-04 feet), finishing in first place.

Based on the link above, he threw 219'2" during his sophmore year which would have been 1967-68.  He increased that to 253'1" the next year and then 280'7" his senior year which would have been the 69-70 school year, jf I have my hears figured correctly.  Either way, it appears Lopez-Ibarra was a few feet short.
