Discus record stirs memories of golden era

The first thing I thought when I read that the kid from Lake Andes had set a discus record at the Howard Wood Relays was, “Hey, that’s Schwartz’s record.” I didn’t find a confirmation in that first story. The confirmation for me came the other day in The Daily Republic, when Luke Hagen contacted Gary Schwartz in Arkansas and talked a bit about how it felt to have Cody Snyder break a record Schwartz had held for 48 years. (He figured it would go someday, he said).
