The heavy favorite in this race was Andy Stanfield and he dominated the event. Stanfield had set the first IAAF-recognized world recognized for 200 and 220 yards around a turn with 20.6 for each distance in 1951 and 1952, and had won three AAU titles at this distance. He was fastest in the heats and ran 20.9 in the quarter-finals. In the final he led early, despite an injured thigh, and held on to win over Thane Baker, with Jim Gathers completing a US medal sweep.
