Houston McTear
Houston McTear (February 12, 1957 – November 1, 2015), was an American sprinter, who emerged from desperate poverty in the Florida Panhandle to become an international track star in the mid-1970s.
McTear rated in the top 10 in the 100 meters for the United States from 1975–1980, but he was stronger at shorter distances, including 60 meters. His 1978 world record in the 60 meters (6.54 s) stood up until it was broken by Ben Johnson in 1986.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.alltime-athletics.com/m60mok.htm )〕 McTear ran a 6.38 in 1980, but that mark has been invalidated due to "questionable timing". If that time were to stand, it would still be the world record. However, his meteoric rise was effectively ended by the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics.
==Early promise==
McTear was born in Okaloosa County, Florida. While at Baker High School in Baker, Florida, McTear won state titles in the 100 and 220 yards four times, the only Florida high school athlete ever to do so. He recorded an 9.0 mark in the 100-yard dash as a high schooler at the Florida AA High State Meet in the preliminary heats, in Winter Park, Florida, but the world record time was not recognized because it was hand-timed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.alltime-athletics.com/m_100yok.htm )〕〔 "'Two of the timers had 8.9 and a third 9.0, so we rounded up to 9.0,' said The Orlando Sentinel's Bill Buchalter."〕 The time remains the NFHS National High School record in the now discontinued event. He was the 1975 High School Athlete of the Year, as selected by ''Track and Field News''.〔http://trackandfieldnews.com/index.php/component/content/article/35-stats/2114-t-fn-boys-hs-aoy〕
At the 1976 U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon, McTear ran a 10.16 sec over 100 metres, at the time the fastest ever run under any condition by a Florida high school athlete. It is still No. 3 on the all-time list, only surpassed by Jeffery Demps and Marvin Bracy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Varsity Blog )〕
