Many meet records were set during the course of the
season. In the first conference dual-meet of the season
with Oregon State three meet records were set. Two
Vandals were successful in eclipsing the old marks
Duane Taylor in the discus with a throw of 157'3" and
Dave Martindale in the pole vault with a leap of 13
feet. The old existing marks were held previously by
Len Rinearson of Oregon State and Dudrey of Oregon
State, respectively. Merv Brock of the Beavers was
responsible for the other change in the record bookscovering
100 yards in 9.6 seconds. He later came back
to tie the 220-yard dash record with a 21.6 timing.

In the other Oregon meet with the University of
Oregon in Eugene seven meet records were established
as Oregon eclipsed four and Idaho erased three. For the
Vandals, the mile relay foursome of Loren LaFoe, Don
Hartman, Ted Nowak and Don Miller shattered the previous
mark of 3:27.9 by turning in a time of 3:26.6.
Miller again grabbed the limelight with a recordbreaking
performance in the 440 with a time of 50
seconds flat. The remaining Idaho mark was captured
by Duane Taylor in the discus with a mark of 153'7".
Setting new marks for the Ducks were Jerry Mock in
the 220 with a time of 21.7; Bob Anderson in the shotput
with a heave of 46'4%"; Fred Turner in the two mile
run- 9:50. 7; and Dennis Sullivan in the 220-yard low
hurdles- 24.4.
The Washington meet saw little happen in the way of
establishing new records for the books, although one
was set. In the high jump Widenfelt of Washington
leaped 6'2%" to break a 48-year-old record of 6'1''.
Bruce Sweeney of Idaho also broke the old record,
clearing 6'2". No new meet records were set in the
W.S.C. meet.
