DARTMOUTH TRACK RECORDS
April, 1912

We give below the records made by Dartmouth athletes on the track as they stood at the beginning of the present season. Some were broken before we went to press and others will doubtless meet the same fate before the season is over. It will be noticed that almost all the records were made within the last three or four years. The oldest record, which stands alone, dates from 1903. Five records date from 1911, three from 1910, and six from 1908. The records which follow are only given for those events which are now commonly contested in intercollegiate athletic meets:
