Compete For
Olympic Spot
Penn State's distance ace Steve
Moorhead and former Nittany
Lion captain, Ed Moran will be
among some 200 prospective
Olympians competing today and
tomorrow in the 1960 final Olym
pic Track and Field tryouts at
Palo Alto, Calif.
Moran, a 1959 Penn State grad
uate has already met the new
minimum standards by achieving
the qualifying time Last week
when he finished third in the Na
tional AAU meet at Bakersfield,
Calif.
Moran's time for the 1,500
meter distance was 3:43.7. Jim
Grelle and Lasslo Tahori. the
distance runners who finished
ahead of Moran, were also well
under the qualifying time of
3:45. Grelle, in winning the
metric mile recorded a record
3:42.7.
To gain a spot on the United
States Olympic team, Moran must
finish in one of the top three
places in these tryouts.
Moorhead, although he failed to
place in the National AAU meet
has progressed rapidly since his
surprise showing at the IC4A
meet held at Villanova this
spring. Shaving a full 16 seconds
off his time, the Lion sophomore.
running in the third steeplechase
of his career, placed second in
the NCAA Championships two
weeks ago.
Rated as an underdog in the
final competition, Moran will
be opposed by leading contend
ers such as Duke's Gary Wei
singer; Pete Close, Quantico
Marines; and George Larson,
Oregon.
If Moorhead finishes among
the top three places and thereby
gains the trip to Rome this Aug
ust. it will be the second time in
a decade that one of Chic Wer
ner's proteges has competed in
the Olympic steeplechase. In the
1952 games, Horace Ashenfelter,
a Penn State product won the
event at Helsinki.
