Bill Carr, the 400-meter chanmpion at the 1932 Olympics, and Johnny Gray, a 1992 800m bronze medallist, were among five men named Tuesday as inductees into the US Track and Field Hall of Fame.

USA Track and Field announced the inductees, who will be enshrined at a ceremony next month at Reno, Nevada, during the group`s annual convention.

Also to be honored will be Don Bowden, the first American to break the four-minute mile, 19th-century speedster Bernie Wefers and Jimmy Carnes, the first president of the sport`s US governing body.

`All five of these individuals are deserving of the highest honor in our sport,` USA Track and Field President Bill Roe.

Gray, who owns the American record at 800m, qualified for four Olympic teams and took bronze at Barcelona.

Carr, who died in 1966, also won 4x400 relay gold in world-record time at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, but he was injured in a car accident shortly after the Games to end his career.

Wefers, who died in 1957, was a star sprinter of the late 1800s and starred at the 1895 meet between the London and New York athletic clubs, winning the 100- and 220-yard races in world-record times.
