High Jump Contenders Emerge for Big Seven Meet
Jim Rangles, Colorado, posted a 5-11 leap in a dual with Iowa State, signaling a close race for the Memorial Stadium event. Cyclones’ Jim Stewart leads the field alongside Oklahoma’s Erwin Cook, Kansas’s Leon Wells, Missouri’s Bob Lang, and Rangles’ teammate Terry Berg as potential champions. Lang posted 5-4, the top mark to date, while Cook, a 4th-year sophomore, eyes a double bid in both jumps and high jump with Sooners backing their bid for team title. Stewart’s indoor form was limited, but recent showings include 6-? in spring meets. Wells returned strong with a 6-3.5 at Kansas Relays and a 6-2 vs Kansas State, rounding a diverse field.
