Year #5 1990 Participants in the 1990 Games had the special privilege of sitting front and center during President George Bush’s anti-drug message to Montana. Two-time Olympic hurdle champion and three-time Olympic medalist, Edwin Moses, added to the pageantry of Opening Ceremonies. Moses recited the Games Oath and ignited the ceremonial torch. The Games cracked the 7,000 mark with 7,022 participants. Equestrian, Karate and Sporting Clays were added to the sport index. A number of State Games records were broken, perhaps the most spectacular was 74-year-old Manuel White’s World Record javelin throw of 131’10". He also set the American Record in the one-kilo discus with a toss of 132’3", and won three additional gold medals in the high jump, hammer throw and shot put. In February, the United States Olympic Committee House of Delegates voted to admit the membership of the National Congress of State Games. State Games Executive Director, Tom Osborne was selected to serve as the NCSG representative on the USOC Board of Directors. |
