Wes Santee May Set Big Seven Mile Record
By BOB NOLD
Attention all track records. Distance records take particular note, because your existence is in danger. Wes Santee (education sophomore) is running.
Santee, a lanky speedster, is known to be especially dangerous in the mile. He hopes to set a new Big Seven indoor track meet mile record Saturday. The present record of 4:17.2 is held jointly by Bill McGuire of Missouri and Bob Karnes of Kansas.
Santee's strategy is already mapped. "I plan to run the first lap in 61 seconds, finish the half in 2:04 or 2:05, and finish three quarters in 3:09 or 3:10. This should set me up for a 4:15 or faster mile. It is important to set up time schedules before each race," he explained.
WES SANTEE
Santee first showed signs of becoming a great runner in his senior
year in high school. He set a new Kansas state record of 4:26 in the regional at Hutchinson. His time in the state meet that year was 4:28.4. It tied Glenn Cunningham's state meet record, but Santee was beaten in that race, and the record was broken by Wes's arch rival, Bill Tidwell.
This was Santee's only loss to Tidwell in high school and he rectified it by beating his rival, who is now on the Emporia State Teachers' college team, in their only meeting this year.
His time in the mile at the indoor dual meet with Missouri university Saturday was 4:18.3. His fastest time to date is 4:17.6 set against Nebraska Feb. 16. In practice, however, he ran a 4:16 time trial on the indoor track at Memorial stadium.
Santee's future plans include cutting his three-quarter mile time to 3:00 in the spring season and he plans to run either the two mile or 5,000 meter race in the NCAA meet.
"My best chance to place in the Olympics, is in the 5,000 meters. The longer the race the better I run. I finished second to Fred Wilt last vean," he said.
"I have improved this year, and I should win an Olympic berth (the first, second, and third place runners qualify for the team).
Santece said he surprised Wilt last year. "When Wilt wilt around after crossing the finish line and found me close enough to shake hands, he said 'are you part Indian'"
He continued, "It wasn't until later in the shower that Wilt congratulated me."
Santee said he can only sit still for a certain length of time and then he has to run. "I get fidgety feet," he said.
NIT Tournament To Fill Positions
New York —(U.P.)— The National Invitation Basketball tournament was expected to fill most, if not all, of its remaining five berths today.
These are the teams considered to be foremost in the running, with their records: Western Kentucky (24-4), Loyola of Chicago (16-7), NYU (16-5), Villanova (16-7), Seattle (26-7), DePaul (18-8), LaSalle (18-5), Lawrence Tech (23-2), Texas Christian (20-3), Wyoming (23-5), and 1951 winner Brigham Young (13-8).
