The officials ran the track backwards at that meeting.
Starting at the finish line & ending at the start line.
Anyone who knows the track knows you would have to be brain dead to race in that direction as there is merely a few meters untill you hit the wall & tower. The end of the strip was a concrete barrier rather than the braking area of gravel etc.
R.I.P Todd!
