Schutte, usually a sprinter, had won the 400 and the 200--the latter in a sprint to the finish--before running the relay. Unsworth had won the mile in dramatic fashion with a final-lap kick and ran the 800 before the relay. Burton rant he mile as well as 3,000, while Moynihan won the 800 and the 3,000.
