The Amherst course is new and almost a mile shorter than Williams 4.2
mile route and relatively level with only three real-sized hills as
obstacles.
Wesleyan was favored and Coach Plansky's strategy was for his top three to dog the heels of the Cardinal trio and make a bid on the final straight. Instead, they found the pace too slow at the halfway mark and spurted into an ever-increasing lead enabling them to finish hand-in-hand.
