"Metcalfe and Wykoff have good body lean while
Parsons is swinging back too far. This is no doubt due to
fatigue."

Photo #54
"Note how well Metcalfe's left arm is back and his right arm up. His arms
are flexed more than usual, which makes for greater arm speed. This tends to
give greater leg speed, as the two must be coordinated."

POSITION PREFERABLE

Photo #55
"Compare Wykoff's arm position with that of Metcalfe's in the preceding
picture. It would seem that the flexed arm position
at this point is preferable."
