Coach Pete Waters found a winning combination in Matt Carey (sophomore), Bill Averill (senior), Bill Morrissey (senior) and anchor Jack Wolff (junior). This team contributed regularly to Jasper victories during their track careers. At the Penn Relays they completed the race in 3 minutes 16.3 seconds, the second fastest mark recorded at the time. Carey set the pace with a 50.4 lap. Averill kept the Jaspers in contention with a 49.8 second lap. By the time Morrissey (47.4) passed the baton to anchorman Wolff the Jaspers had the lead. Wolff streaked to the finish in 48.7 bringing the Jaspers their first mile relay championship at one of the most competitive tournaments of the season.
