Show T DDYS 10 FOUR CBIElEMtlDS Marks Established in Few Meets in Which Univer-j Univer-j sity Entered Teams. A list of track records for tha Rocky i mountain conference covering meets from 1903 uniil the present time has jjnst been compiled by Colorado authori-; authori-; ties. Although the University of Utah ! has not taken part in any more than i three of the annual conference meets held during that period, it holds four of tha fifteen standing records. In fact, almost every nrst place tho "U" won in those meets in which it took part broke all previous records. The four records are in the 220-yard dash, the half-mile, the mile relay and the high jump. Creed Haymond set the sprint record in 1015. Ho ran the 220-vard 220-vard dash in 21 2-5 seconds. The next nest time was made in 1914 by Cline of the University of Colorado. His time was 22 3-n seconds. He was beaten in. 191.i by Haymond. The halt-mile record was set bv Basil Jamison of the University of Utah in 1913. His time was 2 minutes flat. In 1911 Jardine of Colorado college came within two seconds of that mark, and he held the record until Jamison oame along. Utah won the one mile relay on the only two occasions it entered teams in the events, an'd each time set new conference con-ference records. These feats were accomplished ac-complished despite the fact that the local school never worked on the event, it not being a part of local meets. It first won in 1914, covering the distance dis-tance in 3 minutes 29 3-5 seconds. The following year the feat, was accomplished accom-plished in 3 minutes, 27 seconds. The last quarter mile that year was covered by Haymond in 49 seconds. Oliver Parry set the conference high jump record in 1914. His height was G feet 1 inch. .No other man in the conference ever reached the six-foot mark. Some of the other events won in the three vears of Utah's participation were: 'in 1913, Cole in tho mile; in 1914, Van Pelt tied for lirst in the pole vault; 1913, Haymond won the 100-yard dash and Parry tied for lirst in the high jump. No team was entered in 1916. Of the lifteen events in conference meets rwo are new to utan men, since they are not included in local meets, a fact which makes Utah 'a record appear even better. There are six schools in the conference which havo competed three or more time in the meets and consequently the average number of records which should go to any one would be two and one-half. Tho other schools had thirteen years to get their share. Utah won four, more than her share, in three years. |
