Track and field

HALL OF FAME: Middle-distance great Mary Decker Slaney, sprinter John Carlos, and 400-meter runners Larry James and the late Mike Larrabee will be inducted Dec. 5 into the national shrine.

Decker Slaney was the 1983 world champion at 1,500 and 3,000 meters and set 36 national records from the 800 to the 10,000.

Carlos is best known for joining Tommie Smith in raising black-gloved fists in a black power salute during the medal ceremony for the 200 meters at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. Carlos won the bronze in that event. He also was a world record-holder at 100 yards and 200 meters. James was on the gold-medalist team for the 1,600 relay at those Olympics. He also won a silver in the individual 400.

Larrabee, who died in April at age 69, won gold medals for the 400 and 1,600 relay at the 1964 Olympics.
