Maxey Long
I'm seeking info on Maxey Long whose world record in the 400 meter dash set in the 1900 Olympics held for 15 years, 7 months, 28 days. This was not a small feat. As of the end of 2002, the longest any world record in track and field has ever lasted was 25 years, 2 months, 18 days. I assume that Maxey Long was a descendant of Samuel Bell Maxey Long. Help?
