Frosh Shatter Records Despite Loss to Varsity
Two Allen Field House records and six meet records were shattered last night as the KU track team kicked off its 1966 season with the intersquad meet. The varsity beat the freshmen, 73-44.
Although KU's world-famous freshman miler, Jim Ryun, did not compete because of a cold, the freshman squad made a remarkable showing. Both field house records were set by frsh.
KENNY GAINS, Kinsley freshman, amazed the sparse crowd of 200 with a leap of $6'9\frac{1}{4}$ in the high jump. The height, his career best, eclipsed the old mark of $6'8\frac{3}{4}$ set by Tyce Smith in 1964. Gains cleared the bar on his final attempt.
George Byers, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, tied the field house record in the 60-yard high hurdles with a 7.4 clocking. The record is also held by Curtis McClinton, 1961, and Bill Chambers, 1965. Byers also won the low hurdles in 6.8, a freshman record and only .1 second off Charley Tidwell's field house record set in 1959.
THE MEET two-mile record fell to John Lawson, Kansas City senior, who was last fall's National Collegiate Athletic Association cross country champion and cross country All-American. He had a time of 9:17.6, breaking the old mark by two seconds.
Steve Ashurst, Newark, N.J., junior, lowered the 440-yard dash meet mark 2 second with a 51.2 time. Dwight Peck, Woodcliff, N.J., junior, set the old mark last year.
Reggie Young, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, zipped the 60-year dash in 6.2 seconds, tying Bob Hanson's meet mark of 1963.
