Christian Cinder Squad Sets
Four New All-Time Records
^ in r r\ 1 /o inr'hpa tawba-Campbell
The Elon College cin
dermen, who posted
Elen’s first undefeated
record during its regular
season with a mark of five
straight victories, set
four new Elon all-time
records as the Christian
squad swept through its
unbeaten campaign.
The oldest record to
fall beneath the flying feet
of the 1969 cindermen
was the mile relay mark,
which had been set four
teen years ago in 1955
Lynn Newcomb, Ker-
^ Richards, Bobby Green
and Horst Mevius. They
did the mile in 3 min
utes 33.5 seconds, but this
1969 relay quartet set "
new mark of 3
32.4 seconds

The fine Christian re
lay four for 1969,which
improved steadily
throughout the season, in
cluded Joe Freve, Phil
^ook, John Austin and
“ruce McFerren. The
quartet, which included
two juniors and two fresh
men, should all be back
next season and should
lower its oivii m irk.
The other Christian
J^ecord setters this spring
included Ron Bolton with
3 mark of 43 feet 5 in
ches in the triple jump,
‘'ex Davis with a record
a
minutes
against
of 12 feet 9 1/2 inches,
and Jerry Younger with a
mark of 184 feet 5 inches
in the javelin. Bolton set
his mark against Guilford
and Camobell in a trian
gular meet, while Davis
and Younger set their
records in a dual meet
at Guilford.
As the 1969 season
came to a close, the com-
plete set of Elon track
records included the fol
lowing marks, with time,
holder and time they were
set. The record for *e
high jump has been tied
eight times. The records
