Despite numerous injuries, the Crimson track team made one of its strongest showings in history at the IC4A track championships over the weekend. Crimson star Aggrey Awori, hampered by a slight leg pull in the afternoon, still managed to win one event and place second in another to account for most of the team's scoring.

Harvard scored 14 points, placing fifth in the meet, which featured most of the collegiate track stars on the Eastern seaboard. Villanova, defending champions, again won the title, finishing well ahead of second-place Navy.

Awori had entered the meet with hopes of becoming the first triple winner in IC4A history. He was forced, however, to compete in four trial heats in the afternoon as well as the preliminary round in the broad jump. In his second jump, a leap of only 22 ft. 2 in., the sprint star slightly injured his leg and was unable to qualify for the finals.

Coach Bill McCurdy then urged Awori to withdraw from the dash finals. Awori insisted that he would be able to compete, and returned in the evening to set one meet record and to score nine of Harvard's 14 points.

Awori's mark came in the 70 yard high hurdles, where he easily won with a time of 7.3 seconds. His leg apparently hurt him in the dash, however, and the sprint star was beaten by Mattis of Manhattan

With Awori out of the broad jump, Chris Ohiri placed third for the Crimson with a leap of 23 ft. 5 in. According to Coach McCurdy, Ohiri might have won the competition, but he reinjured his knee in the preliminaries and was able to make only one all-out jump in the finals.

Harvard's final two points came from weight-thrower Art Doten, who placed fourth in the very strong field with a throw of 57 ft. 11 1/2 in. Sophomore Olney Croasdale barely missed the finals of the eight with his best throw of the season, a toss of 56 ft. 4 in. Croasdale unexpectedly made the finals of the shot put, as well, but was edged into sixth place in the last round of throws.
