Steers was a great all-round athlete who competed at the javelin, shot put and high-hurdles for his college athletics team as well as the high jump giving him the aspiration of competing as a decathlete.

He was NCAA (United States collegiate) champion (1941))〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=All-time NCAA Men's Results )〕 , 3 times AAU (United States national) champion (1939-41)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A History Of The Results Of The National Track & Field Championships Of The USA From 1876 Through 2014 )〕 , and a gold medalist at the World University Games in 1939 (where he also won silver in the javelin and bronze in the pentathlon).〔 As a jumper, Steers used the 'Belly Roll', a variation of the 'Western Roll'.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Les Steers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
