The runners and field people were, as usual, successful in their respective meets. One outstanding performance was the distance medley team's, consisting of Lisa Schroeder, Tracy Spalvins, Meredith White, Lynne Strauss, !st

Others, who achieved shining records, were Lynne Strauss, whose mile win in the Penn State Invitational with a time of 4:59 beat a field of college women and Tom Shiffer, whose consistency in the 400600-800 meter events added to the whole teams success.
