Norman Durment Breaks World‘s Hurdles Record "Norm" Durment, senior football and track star at the Highland Park high school, startled the timers at the state finals held in Urbana last Saturday when he ran the 200 yard low hurdles in 22.2 seconds to estabâ€" lish a new national interscholastic 22.1, and the national, 22.6 seconds. "Norm" who is the son of Otto Durment, police officer at the high school, has pointed for this race for the past two seasons. Last year he won his way to the finals only to lose out in the last race. His startâ€" ling time this year is a tribute to him and his coaches, Chas. Laver and "Deac" Wolters. Durment reduced the world‘s recâ€" ord for the 200 yard low hurdles to 22.2 seconds in spite of several hanâ€" dicaps. The weather was anything but favorable, and the contenders were forced to run in pouring rain. Durment had the worst posgible lane, the inside lane, because it had been dug up by preceding runners. He had to run through a pool of water before getting to the first hurâ€" dle. . Wally Repholz, another H.P.H.S. senior ran the fastest half mile in the history of the local track teams to bring two more points as he comâ€" pleted the distance in 2 min. 5 secâ€" onds. John Rompel, a junior, also made his way to the finals but did not place among the point winners. On his finish, all of the spectators, coaches, and. other tracksters conâ€" gratulated him. Newspaper camâ€" eras snapped, and though Durment realized what he had accomplished for Highland Park, he took it very modestly, as usual, as his name was announced as the maker of a new world‘s record and was presented with a medal. f The special high school race in which Durment completed, the 200â€" yard low hurdles, is two years old. It is run in most states in the union, and as his time is the fastest anyâ€" mfiomhoh-riith classed as a new world‘s record. Last year the fastest time listed in Spaulding‘s guide was 22.6, Norm‘s is listed next as 22.7, which he made in the district meet last year. Durment who is 18 years old, was born in Highland Park and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Durment. His father is an officer of the Highâ€" land Park police force and his mother conducts the Inga Durment Employment agency. He will gradâ€" uate from the local high school in June and is making plans to attend college in the fall, although he has not made a definite decision as to the school, he favors lowa State. Three Year Goal Durment has worked toward this goal for three years, and all this year he has been keeping in fine condition. In the preliminaries held Friday, he ran 22.9 on a dry track, and could have easily lowered the record to 22: flat, but he realized he had to save himself for the semiâ€" finals, and then the finals, Later in the semiâ€"finals he ran it in 23: fiat, but he was taking it casy. Six Highland Park trackmen, Harris, Durment, ‘Heath, Heymann, Repholz, and Rompel, traveled to Champaign to compete in the meet. Every fellow accomplished someâ€" thing, and Coach Lauer was deâ€" lighted with the fine showings the boys made for themselves. Besides Durment‘s record, Repholz grabbed a fifth position in the halfâ€"mile in 2:00.5, while "Johnnie" Rompel â€"ran to fifth berth in the 440 in 51:8. The relay team won their heat, but finâ€" ished in sixth place; it was comâ€" posed of Durment, Rompel, Heath, and Harris. Suburban League Rates High In the first ten schools out of thirty, there were five Suburban league schools.. Oak Park won the meet, while New Trier tied for seeâ€" ond position. Provise and Morton were also in the first ten, Highland Park, by far the smallest school of have any entrics in the meet. From the first hurdle Durment was ahead, and he was never chalâ€" lenged.
