The most promising performer, Cullen Bryant, competed in the sprints, long jump and the triple jump, Other promising teammates were Ed Bishop in the weights, Matt Mauro in the quarter-mile, Ralph Allen in the hurdles, and Paul Gates, Joe Joyner, and Dave Riddle in the distance races. Having only seven returning lettermen, the Ma- rauders confronted a lack of depth and balance. How- ever, Coach Bill Westbay expected a better perform- ance from previous years over the fourteen meet slate.
