Starting last July, Boeing and General Dynamics each made ten test flights. Most were held over the bleak wastelands of the Utah Test and Training Range, near Dugway, Utah. The missiles were programmed to sprint at 500 m.p.h. round and round an aerial race course 100 miles long by 30 miles wide. In later tests some cruises were dropped from B-52s 60 miles out into the Pacific and programmed to fly back over California and Nevada to Utah. Air Force F-4 Phantom chase planes closely followed to observe and take over the missiles by radio control if anything...
Finishing second to Coan in the fifty was Kris Kirchner of Texas in 19.95, followed by Rowdy Gaines of Auburn. Gaines led the Eagles with two individual sprint victories in the 100-yd. and 200-yd. freestyle, both American records...

Auburn's Rowdy Gaines and Tennessee's Andy Coan both could win all of the sprint freestyles...

The fifty free, 100 free, 100 IM, even the 200 free, she swam everything, and swam it well. The highlight of her season was definitely her brilliant victory in the Ivies 100 IM, in which she out-dueled Princeton's Ann Habernigg...
