The 1972 North Carolina Central Mile Relay team smashed the Penn Relays record by three seconds. The team of Melvin Bassett, Robert Ouko, Julius Sang and Larry Black ran a nation collegiate record of 3:03.1, a time not better as either a Carnival or collegiate record until 1977. The record was highlighted by Black’s record-setting anchor of 43.8 for his quarter-mile leg.
