The winter track team outscored its opponents in
dual meets by more than five hundred points; won the
New England Prep School Championship by forty-five
points, and rewrote the old school record book in lead­
ing Moses Brown to a reign in the hierarchy of track
which may be for many years unmatchable.
The astounding depth of the team spelled success.
"Bubbly" Wilson, running at his usual record-breaking
pace, led the long distance men. Striding close behind
him in the mile was Glenn McCrea and in the two
mile Roger Bennett. If necessary, both Wilson and Mc­
Crea could also run the 1000 and contend with team­
mate Tom Burnett for superiority. The middle— dis­
tance 600 was uncontested. Record-breaker Rick Bern-
stingle went undefeated, and Tom Ferguson was only
two seconds behind. Pete Lacaillade, Al McCully, and
Buddy Lisker were all capable of a 5.6 in the 50; these
three, plus John Hyland, Captain Pete Holmes, and
Bernstingle, formed a 300 nucleus which was almost
unscored upon. In the hurdles, Lacaillade was beaten
only by an Exeter foe; when Pete had to give up this
event because of injury, versatile John Hyland made
a habit of winning it; John Femino usually was next.
The oldest school track record— 6'3% " in the high
jump— was erased by Pete Holmes' leap of 6'4". Junior
Je ff Blunt jumped 6'0" consistenly this year. Shot
putters Ed Ricci, Buddy Beckel, and Greg Sanford
were a noticeable improvement over putters of recent
years.
