Track Action

The new Cavalier Tartan track
will officially be dedicated
Saturday morning at 10:30 before a
dual meet with Richmond.

A host of University officials,
including President Edgar F.
Shannon and Athletic Director
Gene Corrigan, will be on hand to
officially designate the track as
Lannigan Field, in memory of
"Pop" Lannigan, a longtime
University basketball and track
coach.

The complete facility has been
in use for a number of months,
although dedication ceremonies
have been delayed. The track has
been called by its manufacturers
one of the five best in the country.
