Senior Gil Gebo figured prominently as he broke the 600 yarsity indoor record with a 1:11.3 clocking and anchored the mile relay to a 3:21.5 Sta dium record. Also included on the relay team were speeds ters Dick Strand, Kent Mc- Cloughan, and Dave Crook. Junior Jim Wendt won the 880 by inches in the closest race of the day.
