This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 09 March 1961 "Running the mile in a time just outside M. Halberg's when he was the same age as B. Jones would give the latter a good prospect for a future career in athletics. Jones, a Palmerston North Boys' High School prefect, ran the mile in 4min. 28.8 sec, lowering the old record from 4min 41 1-5 sec during the school's annual sports this morning."
