Captain-elect Dick Benka set a shot put record of 58' 11 1/2"; captain Jeff Huvelle broke a 50-year-old record in the 440-yard dash; Steve Schoonover became the first Ivy League polevaulter to go 16 feet; Roy Shaw and Jim Baker made several valiant but futile runs at the four minute mile; Frank Haggerty established himself as one of the nation's best hurdlers before a freak accident cut short his senior season.
