For all the fans that came
home to Elon for the 1980
Homecoming Weekend, the
Saturday afternoon football
game was an unforgetable
event. For more recent
alumni, it was a time to
refresh memories on just
how well senior runningback
Bobby Hedrick can perform.
Bobby Hedrick banged,
hurdled, and bounced
around in a style all his
own, to perform 188 yards
rushing on 26 carries. But
the 188 yards meant more
than a good day’s running;
it meant a record broken by
this outstanding Elon athlete.
Hedrick was rewarded with
the NAIA career rushing
record formerly held by Jer
ry Linton of Panhandle
State, Oklahoma, 1959-62.
The old mark of 4,839
yards was broken by He
drick with 13:58 remaining
in the game. He remained
on the sidelines during the
final nine minutes of the
game and that is the only

According to King White,

“a good turnout” of alumni

thing that kept him from
gaining 200 yards. Hedrick’s
career yards stand at 4,847
with two games remaining
on the schedule.
At halftime the 6-foot,
177-pound senior had rushed
for 108 yards. The excite
ment of the crowd, wonder
ing if he could gain 73 more
yards to break the record,
grew louder and louder.
With every run, Hedrick
grew closer and the crowd
began rising from their seats
more often. When the an
nouncement was made over
the loudspeaker that Hedrick
had just broken the record.
all 5,500 fans stood and
applauded ecstatically, pay
ing tribute to their great All
American runningback.
Hedrick held the football
in the air and waved it to
the crowd as he trotted to
the sidelines to share his
glory with his teammates
and coaches.
Hedrick gives credit to
“good blocldng, team spirit
and the man upstairs” for
his success. Hedrick, along
with teammates, is looking
forward to getting a berth in
the nationals. He says, “I’ve
got to keep gaining more
yards.”
