Harvard's Alan Long worked his way from an early fifth position to challenge Ryan in the home stretch, finally sprinting a way in the last 200 yards for second place, sixteen seconds behind Seals. Long has shown an increasing ability to stick to a fast early pace and should be ready to challenge the leaders in the Big Three meet this Friday...
Dick Jurgens, still in bad condition after a recent foot injury, finished strongly to grab sixth place in 16:40. Newly elected freshman captain Andy Meltzoff used his blistering kick to overtake two B.C. runners for seventh. Rick Barton was only seven seconds behind, but began his sprint too late and had to settle for eleventh. Phil Liechtenstein and Jake Seniuk rounded out the Harvard scoring with thirteenth and fourteenth places...

Andy Meltpoff, Phil Lichtenstein, and Jake Seniuk form a tightly-bunched back-up group that could challenge the leaders if one of them gets off to a quick start...
