...highlight of the afternoon will be Dyke Benjamin's attack on Pete Reider's two-year-old mile record of 4:11.0. Last week Benjamin obliterated Reider's two-mile mark with an outstanding 9:08.5 clocking. He also took 11.4 seconds off his best previous mile time with a 4:15.6 effort. Princeton's Charlie Hudson and Frank Gutmann, and probably the Crimson's Jed Fitzgerald will be Benjamin's opponents in his record attempt...
