Grant Sets New Records
In Ist Two Frosh Meets
In the last 25 years Lion cross country coach Chick Wer
ner has come up with some great runners, but this year he
may have hit the top of the barrel in freshman Colin Grant.
Grant, who hails from Middlesex, England, has broken
two records in his first two outings this year. Against Pitt he
wiped out the freshman record formerly held by another English
man, varsity standout Gerry Norman. Against Cornell Satur-lay he
ran a 15:08.3 in a rainstorm to again set a new course mark.
"The rain didn't bother me at all since it produced running
conditions similar to those in England," Colin said after the meet.
Breaking records is not a new business for Grant. Last year
he set a new world's record of 4:12.6 for the 1500-meter steeplechase
in England's Junior Federated Division, but since he was one month
over the maximum age of 19 the record was nullified.
"I feel that the steeplechase is my best event, but I ran all
of the distance events in high school," Grant said, He produced
high school times of 1:55.6 for the half-mile, 4:19 for the mile, and
9:24 for two miles.
Grant said he decided to come to Penn State because it was
highly recommended to him by a number of people, and he had
heard of State's reputation as an Eastern track power.
"I had a great desire to come to the U.S. for two reasons,"
he said. "First, I like to travel, I guess I'm kind of a rolling stone.
Second, in order to develop my ability to the maximum I felt that
I had to come to the States."
Colin has set no immediate standards for himself. "I just want
to go out and run as fast as I can," he said.
If the Englishman continues running as he has in the past two
meets, it looks like there will be more wholesale toppling of records
at Penn State.
