Running his usual fast pace in the 880, Shea climaxed his second triple standard-breaking perform ance in I:s4.4.'Although his 1:55.5 timing' was one of his fastest, State's Bob Roessler couldn't do any better than third. Nittany Bob Gehman also ran a fast 1:55.6, but failed to place.

He continued to set a blistering pace, and grad ually lengthened out to win handily. Smitty's time was 9:28.8, which is the fastest the young frosh had ever run outdoors. In the hurdles events, frosh Bill Youkers found veteran de fending barrier champ, Larry Johnson, too much, as he was only able to capture two third places.
