Sands ran for the Iowa State Cyclones track and field team,[2] and in 1974 he broke a 44-year-old school record in the 100 yard dash with a 9.3 second clocking.[3][4] Before his time at Iowa, Sands competed at Worthington Community College (now merged into Minnesota West Community and Technical College) and was recruited for having run 9.5 seconds in the 100 yards there.[5] His personal best time in the 100 metres was 10.3 seconds, achieved in 1976.[1]
