Two years after having won the program’s first national title, the Ducks won their second with a dominating performance, nearly doubling second-place San Jose State in points, 70-40. And, as in 1962, they did it at Hayward Field.

Harry Jerome was among the holdovers from the ‘62 champions, winning the 100-yard final, and finishing third in the 200 just months ahead of earning a bronze medal for Canada in the ‘64 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Senior Les Tipton won the javelin, leading a 1-2-3 sweep in the final ahead of seniors Gary Reddaway and Ron Gomez, and the Ducks dominated the 3,000 steeplechase with four finishers in the top eight led by senior Mike Lehner in second.

Senior Archie San Romani, Jr., placed second in the 1,500, and sophomore Kenny Moore jumped to the national scene with a third-place finish in the 5,000. Moore also placed sixth in the steeplechase final.

Among the other team members who finished in the top eight of their events and achieved All-American status were senior Paul Stuber (high jump), junior Dave Blunt (100, 200), senior Ray Van Asten (800), sophomore Don Scott (800), senior Clayton Steinke (steeplechase) and sophomore Bruce Mortensen (steeplechase). The Ducks finished seventh in the 4 x100, and eighth in the 4×400 finals. A year later, Oregon tied with USC for the national title.
