Wall of Fame
The 1959 Abilene Christian 440-yard relay team of Bud Clanton, Calvin Cooley, George Peterson, and Bill Woodhouse ran a Carnival record 40.9. The record was bettered only in 1967, and then only by three-tenths of a second. Accounting for the difference in track surfaces, Abilene’s mark was bettered for the first time in 1970.
