Despite sending a small contingent of just 11 athletes to Detroit for the meet, Head Coach Fred Dwyer’s squad came home with the College’s first national title in any sport. Mike Keogh, a 1972 Olympian, got the Jaspers on the board with a victory in the two-mile run, then Ken McBryde, the only field-event athlete entered, took third place in the triple jump. Day Two of the meet began with a world record, as Manhattan’s quartet of John Lovett, Ray Johnson, Joe Savage and Tony Colon established a new mark of 9:43.8 in the distance medley relay. Cliff Bruce added three points with a third-place showing in the 1000 yards, giving the Jaspers a total of 18 points with several events left. However, Manhattan could only sit and watch, as the Jaspers didn’t have any remaining entries. Nobody was able to catch Manhattan, though. Kansas, Kent State and UTEP tallied 12 points apiece to finish in a three-way tie for second. For their part in winning the National Championship, seven Jaspers were named All- American. In addition, Dwyer was named National Coach of the Year. 1973 NCAA INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS MARCH 9-10—COBO ARENA, DETROIT 1000 YARDS TRIPLE JUMP 1. Tony Waldrop, North Carolina 2:10.0 1.
