SIU Ace Is Former Bobby
Bill Cornell, a former English bobby who is presently taking special delight speeding in this country, will lead Southern Illinois University's track delegation at the Kansas Relaws this weekend.
"I don't believe in running against the clock," Cornell said. "I run to win and when I hit good competition I don't have to worry about good times. They're automatic as long as you win."
A two-time All-American by virtue of second-space finishes behind Dyrol Burleson, Oregon's NCAA mile champion of 1962, and Oregon State's Norm Hoffman who captured the 880-yard crown in 1963. Cornell has a unique philosophy which makes good sense.
And win Cornell has this spring as the Chelmsford, England, senior sparked Southern's squad to victories at both the Florida and Texas relays.
In his first outdoor appearance of
the season at Gainesville, Fla., where the Salukis won all three relay events they entered, Cornell anchored the distance medley quartet with a 4:12.7 mile effort, came back with a 1:51 half in the spring medley and was clocked in 47.8 seconds for his quarter in the mile relay. Team times were 10:00.1 (a new Florida Relays record), 3:24.8 and 3:15.1, respectively.
Meet officials recognized Cornell's efforts by selecting him as the most outstanding performer and recipient of the Kearney-Raybun trophy.
At the Texas Relays a week later Cornell anchored SIU's record-breaking entry in the sprint medley to a 3:19.4 clocking by virtue of an anchor 1:48.6 leg. In the mile relay he turned in a 47.4 split, his best ever, as the Salukis finished third behind Abilene Christian and Rice despite establishing a new school record of 3:10.4.
