INDOOR TRACK This year ' s Indoor track had another in a long string of fine seasons for Coach Careton Crowell — 9-2 in dual meets for the 19701971 season. Army had its share of individual stars led by team Captain Kevin James, who pole vaulted 16 ' Vi , the only man ever to break 16 ' for the Academy Army beat such perennial foes as Harvard, Penn State, and Manhattan. Only close losses to Cor nell and Princeton marred the excellent record. The team had depth in both the field and track events but an abundance of injuries late in the season held back a better finish in the Heptagonal meet. The team did garner 6th place (out of 66 teams) in the tough LC4A championship Tony Dedmond, the LC4A champion runner-up in the 60 yd. dash was the mainstay of the sprintmg corps, backed by senior Kevin Flanagan and soph Harry Pepping. Soph Johnny Jones headed the hurdles, while in the distances the team of Lou Catti, Dennis Tone, Jim Dernar and Steve Fee set an academy record in the 2-mile relay with an excellent time of 7:34.7. Cort Elevens, our top 600 yd. man was highly rated in the East with a time of 1:11.3. In the field events Tom Marks cleared 15 ' in the pole vault and teamed with Steve Frochich (6 ' 6 ) as our top two high jumpers. Bill Jones and Ron Knight teamed to break each other ' s academy record for the triple jump with Jones owning a best of 98 ' 2 . Outdoor Captain Bill Diehl and Bill Shuff headed the weight men with bests of 59 ' 2 and 56 ' respectively in the 35 lb weights. This season again proved the Army to be one of the Eastern powers. ;k N -] aajJiy XT v- '
