Alright, I just bet by buddy that German Fernandez was not the ONLY true freshman to win the NCAA 1500m/mile. I had thought I recalled that either Jim Ryun or Bob Kennedy had done this, but after looking it up found that NCAA rules prohibited Ryun from competing in the championships his freshman year, and that Kennedy didn't win until his sophmore year (despite winning CC as a freshman.)
Did ANYONE win the NCAA 1500m/mile as a true freshman before German, or did I lose the bet?
Thanks all.
