McDonald, 27, of Hawaii, clocked 13 minutes, 19.40 seconds after a fantastic last kilometer to wipe out the late Steve Prefontaine's previous mark by 4.4 seconds. Prefontaine, who died in a car accident in 1975, set his record of 13:22.8 in 1972. McDONALD was the pace-setter during the first two kilometers of the 5,000, and after the three kilometer mark, he and Dixon broke away from the pack. Dixon took the lead at the bell looking the stronger of the two, but the American cane back with a strong kick in the last 150 meters to win by a few strides. The last kilometer was one of history's fastest in a 5,000-meter run. Both men were well under the pace of Belgium's Emiel Puttemans who set the world record of 13:13.0 in 1972. McDonald, who competes for the mid- Pacific road runners, had a previous personal best of 13:29.6 when he finished second in the U. S. Olympic trials in Eugene, Ore. "I felt very good in the last kilometer but I never thought I went that fast," he said. "I think I could have ran under 13.15 with a better pace early in the race." It was the first time McDonald ran in Stockholm. He was here three years ago but was not allowed to start in a 1,500-meter race then because his per- sonal best time was off the qualification limit. OTHER AMERICAN winners included Olympic champion Mac Wilkins in the discus and veteran Willie Davenport,- who tied with world record holder Guy Drut of France in the 110-meter hurdles. Wilkins tossed the disc 216 feet in his sixth and last attempt to pass his old rival and former world record holder John Powell of San Jose, Calif., who had a toss of 214-9. Wilkins holds the world mark of 232-6, set earlier this year. Davenport, 33, competing for the Baton Rouge, La., Track Club, and the French Olympic gold medalist both were timed in 13.57. GUYANA'S James Gilkes, who tried in vain to enter the 100 meters as an in- dividual after his nation joined the African pullout of the Olympics, won his second race in two days, the 200 meters in 20.9. Ile also took the 1IS0-meter dash Monday. Olympic pole vault champion Tadeusz Slusarski of Poland cleared 17-8 to win over American Ilan Ripley and Wojciech " Bucuarski of Poland, both also at 17-8%. Irena Szewinska of Poland, the greatest female athlete in Olympic track history and winner of the 400 in Montreal, won the 200 meters in 22.6. Olympic 100 meters winner Annegret Richter of West Germany was five-tenths of a second behind. Olympic javelin queen Ruth Fuchs of Fast Germany won her specialty with a toss of 202-11 and countrywoman Anita Weiss ran a fast 800 meters in 1:57.3, only 2.4 seconds off Russian Tatayana Kazankina's world mark. ~p~'t4~(the (&ii4 By The Associated Press Tarkanian taking off?
