The fortunes of track at
South Carolina's relay teams.
South Carolina seem to be bet
ter than ever and one of the
primary reasons for. the enrich
ment in thi- sport is a sandy
haired sophomore by the name
of Mike McGuinness.
Unnoticed by most people be
cause of his shy, quiet nature,
Mike can be considered one of
the outstanding sprinters in
MIKE McGUINNESS
South Carolina track history.
Already he has established him
self as one of the best runners
in the ACC with his first-place
finish in the 600-yard run in
doors. Mike defeated the de
fending champion from Mary
land to win the title.
Thus far this spring Mc
Guinness has been beaten only
once in the 440 and has played
a big role in the success of

In the dual meet with Brown Ca
last week he anchored the mile tr
relay team which set a new A
school record. He had already pa
competed in three events.
The slightly built, rather
slump shouldered youth doesn't se
look like a runner until you see th
him fly out of the blocks and it
around the track. In the meet In
with Florida State Mike ran two lir
440's under 49 seconds. His wi
fastest quarter this season has br
been a 48.1 in the Carolina Re- th
lay Meet when he anchored the
mile relay team to a second
place finish. je
McGuinness is very often ba
overlooked by track fans be- be
cause of his serious nature and fil
the business - like manner in
which he competes on the track. B<
Off the track he is well-liked be
by those who know him and is de
considered by his team-mates as wl
the hardest worker on the team. mi
Several members of the squad At
commented that no one else
more deserved to win a gold fo
medal at the indoor meet than qu
Mike McGuinness. They were A
overjoyedl with his performance in
at the ACC Indoor Meet and all fo
of them grabbed him jubilantly
as he crossed the finish line.
Mike came to South Carolina tu
from Dumont, New Jersey ar
where he was a State Champion mn
in high school in the 440. He
1has improved his time in both sA
the 440 and 220 since then and ev
could become a USC record re
holder before the season is over. U
South Carolina track is better
than ever, thanks to guys like m
Mike McGuinness who is one of je
the finest competitors around.p

STRONG TEAM
South Carolina should be a
ght favorite to win, but North
rolina is a traditionally strong
Lek team and always dangerous.
few well-placed mistakes on the
rt of either team could very

Woody Chapman broke the

to just a shade under 15 feet.

Ly, Roland Brown, a low country
ed vaulter, cleared 14 feet in
Relays.
BIG WALT
Walt Christensen, a BIG New
rsey shot putter, tossed the steel
11 52 feet in the Relays and can
expected to hand Carolina a
st place Saturday.
Bob Crombie will face UNC's
b Bennett in the 880. Crombie
at Bennett twice during the in
or season and there is no reason
iy their third meeting shouldn't
ike it number three for the fleet
istralian.
The 440 should be an easy task

estion here is whether Bland

jury and can make it one, two
