...bouncingly healthy. But like the others who had also set their share of records (the Walter Reed Swim Club's Shelley Mann set new world marks of 1:11.8 in the 100 meter butterfly, 2:44.4 in the 200-meter butterfly, and 5:52.5 in the 400-meter medley), Carin knew that her toughest races were still to come. All are pointing for next month's Olympic trials in Detroit. There the winners will be paid off with a plane trip to Melbourne...
...Anchored by Irish Ron Delany, Villanova's medley relay team ran the distance (2½ miles) in jig time (a meet-record of 9:58.1) at the Penn Relays in Philadelphia to beat Oxford's English invaders by a long 20 yds. Next day when the Britons came back to run off with the four-mile and two-mile relays, Villanova and Delany retaliated by taking the sprint medley and setting another meet record (3:11.9) in the one-mile relay. Pitt's Arnie Sowell, U.S. Olympic hope at 800 meters, got no help from his teammates...
...indication of the quality of the entrants in this meet was the distance medley relay, in which the varsity finished fifth. Winner Villanova ran Charlie Jenkins, Warner Heitman, Alex Breckenridge, and Ron Delany, four of the finest runners in the country during the past indoor season...

This team took the Easterns in 3:26.1, and, on paper at least, is the second fastest team in the country--Yale being the fastest, of course. Ohio State has done a 3:26.9 using medley star Al Wiggins as Anchor man, but since Wiggins is expected to swim in other events, the Buckeyes may drop back. Iowa State has done 3:24 in a 20-yard pool, but over the 25 yard length this would be equivalent to about...
...medley relay team of Macky, Hawkins, and Jorgensen faces stiffer competition. Ohio State had done 2:46, Yale 2:47, North Carolina State 2:48, Northwestern 2:50, and Iowa State 2:52. The Crimson record to date is 2:52.4, but recent improvement by Pete Macky in the backstroke indicates that the varsity may get down...
