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.
