Dr. Delano Meriwether, of the Baltimore Cancer Research Center, won the AAU National Junior Men's title with a meet-tying 9.6 in the 100-yard dash at Wantagh, N.Y. He has run the event in 9.6, 9.5 and 9.4 this summer, his first try at track competition.

David Keith, 10, from Winston-Salem, N.C., voted outstanding camper at the Wake Forest Physical Fitness Camp, averaged 95% on the seven-item AAHPER test and led his age group in all track and field events, from the 50-yard dash to cross-country.
