US Men's Swimming Relay Team in Action
(Original Caption) USA's Mark Spitz no sooner touches the wall than teammate Don Schollander dives out over him to cinch a US gold medal in the men's 800-meter freestyle swim. The team of John Wilson of Pompano Beach, FL; Spitz, of Santa Clara, CA; Stan Reyrch of Paterson, NJ and Schollander of Jacksonville, FL, finished in 7 minutes, 52 and 3-tenths seconds, only two-tenths seconds over the world record (also set by the USA) in the Tokyo Olympics.
