...anticipated rematch never occurred. Army's leadoff runner dropped the baton on the first lap, and the Harvard foursome of Tom Spengler, John Gillis, Jon Enscoe, and Keith Colburn never let them back into the race. Enscoe and Colburn each clocked 1:54 half-mile legs to outdistance second-place Cornell...
Doug Hardin's spectacular, record-setting two-mile triumph earned him the meet's outstanding performer award for the second consecutive year. Hardin ran just off the pace for most of the race, following Yale's Frank Shorter and Princeton's Eamon Downey. With just over a lap to go, he uncorked an astounding kick to open up a twenty-yard lead. Hardin's last quarter-mile was clocked in 60 seconds, and his overall time of 8:48.6 shattered his own meet record of 8:56.4 set last year. Dave Pottetti took fourth place behind Downey and Shorter...

...snap the tape in 4:15, a second in front of Northeastern's Mike Scanlon. With an hour and a half's rest Shaw came back to clip nearly three seconds from the 100 mark. Starting last in the field of six, he took the lead on the second lap and rambled home in 2:11.7 with a twelve-yard margin on Scanlon and his teammate Larry Joseph...
...Returning to competition after a three-month layoff, Hardin tripped and fell on the second corner, losing thirty yards to the leaders and falling back to last place. He gradually threaded his way through the field and moved into second place position behind M.I.T.'s Ben Wilson with seven laps to go. Then, with the crowd on its feet, Hardin blasted away from the bespectacled Engineer with a lap and a half remaining, covering the final 440 in 61 seconds and crossing the line with a thirty-yard lead in a time of 8:56.0.
