Description:: The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum track stretches across the foreground. Just beyond it, U.S.C. Trojan, Curtis McFadden, appears to hover in mid-air at center as he broad jumps. He is viewed from the side and faces right. His legs extend straight in front of him as he leans his chest towards his legs. His arms fly back behind him. On the far side of the landing pit, several meet officials stand in a row alongside the pit and face towards camera. A marker behind and to the left of McFadden reads, "23 6." The stadium's seats stretch across the background.
