Some additional insight from my friend, Dave.
First of all, how I came up with "lows" can only be attributed to the similarity of 110 and low, and my old age. Don't tell Mike Jones. He is about 1/2 inch shorter than me and Bow and a little sensitive. He turned out to be a damn good track coach at Southern Oregon. Look it up. I saw him run his best race at Hayward State, 1975.
Yes, I was sophomore class president. Won by 7 votes. Campaigned at sorority houses with my friend Bow who was and is a stallion and I think the girls thought they were voting for him. At least 7 did.
Must have had mid-terms and papers due on top of the Great Race so made all the arrangements for Saturday and then passed out. Bow had extensive duties on Saturday and direct contact with Pre - I believe in the van and again near the stadium. Apparently he had to stop Pre and Kimball somewhere near the stadium because maybe the band was still on the field.
Bow, when you stopped them, was Pre ahead and how far from the "finish line" and what was his and Rich's condition. Is it "Rich" or am I getting him mixed up with the character from The Fugitive?
Also, the presenter of the trophy might have been O'Donnell, Kevin, Dennis? A real character.
Bow, this reminds me of the Mike Garrett research project.
Doug, you may have a story here. DW
