Jimmy Dial was an excellent multi purpose runner for Huntington in the mid to late 1940's. Although he did most of his damage to opponents with his record setting 400 meter skill, he also was a ranked 100 meter runner and scored many state meet points in the broad jump as well. In addition to two individual events making the all time early era list, he also helped two of Huntington's relay teams be ranked as well.
