Wolfpack Overcomes Trackmen, 96-49

North Carolina State buoyed by
a one-two sweep in every running
event but one, handed the Virginia
trackmen their first dual meet loss
of the season, 96-49, Saturday
afternoon at Lambeth Field.

Throughout the meet, the Wolfpack
runners displayed an uncanny
ability to come from behind to post
last second wins, and in doing so
gave the Cavalier team quite a
lesson on finishing with a kick.
State's Jeff Prather had quite a day
for himself in taking the 220 in
22.3, the 440 in 50.4, and anchoring
his team's 440 yard relay team
to a 42.5 winning time.

Dick Trichter, the conference
champ in the 100 yard dash, took
that event in 10.1 and also ran a leg
on the 440 yard relay team. John
Hall led State's 1-2 finish in the high
hurdles with a 15.3 clocking and
then came back to take second to
teammate Matt Yarborough in the
440 intermediates.

State's outstanding half miler
Gus Thompson led all the way to
win in 1:56.1. In the mile Ed Carson,
Gareth Hayes, and Pete McManus
most modestly crossed the finish
line together in a 4:24,7 clocking.
The 3 mile produced the
outstanding performances. Hayes
and the Cavaliers' Rick Katz both
turned in swift finishing kicks, with
Hayes emerging the victor in
14:56.3.

A Wolfpack quartet anchored by
Thompson won an extremely close
mile relay in 3:24.3. The field
events were the highlight of the day
for the Cavaliers. Mike Harvey,
Virginia's high scorer for the day
leaped 22′5¾ to win the broad
jump, and 43′8½″ to take the triple
jump.

Al Sinesky took the shot with a
51′5″ toss, and Mike Wilkes captured
a first in the discus with a
throw of 143′.
