Duane Haugen set a record in the 100m in 1980 with a time of 10.2. This mark was the best in this event at any level of collegiate competition in 1980.  He ran his record-setting 100 meters at a track meet at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO. That time qualified him for the 1980 Olympic Trials, but political events forced the US team to withdraw from competing in the 1980 Olympics and Haugen lost his chance to compete. His record is stilled revered today at Mines.
