Jim Ryun runs unattached in the Invitational One-Mile Run. Ryun finished a disappointing 7th place. Apparently he had been suffering from dysentery, and didn’t want to disappoint the crowd by dropping out. The race was won by Robert Maplestone of Eastern Washington, with a Drake Relays record setting time of 4:00.4
