Dewey Hickman is heavily favored in the 60-yd. high hurdles, but Baylee Reid faces a strong dash field. Princeton, with two 6.3 sprinters, appears strong here. Harvard will counter with Bob Clayton, the fastest in the world so far this year...
Harvard runners obliterated old records just about as easily as the guy who broke mine. The two-mile relay lopped seven seconds off the GBC mark, Bob Clayton ran the 1000 three seconds faster than the GBC standard set just last December, Nick Leone bettered the meet record in the 600 by over a second, and Vincent Vanderpoole-Wallace jumped five inches further in the triple jump than anyone else had previously...
What was even more amazing was the fact that four Crimson times were superior to those recorded in a top invitational meet in California. Clayton's superb 1000 is, as far as I know, the fastest in the world so far this year. His 2:08.0 was a tenth of a second faster than the winning time by Kenyan Olympian Mike Boit at the L.A.

Co-captain John Quirk and John McDonald of B.C. head the field in the mile. Harvard's Ric Rojas is among four sub-nine minute two milers centered in what could be the best race of the meet, with Harvard freshman Bill Durette a dark horse threat. Quirk has recorded the better time by two seconds...
