During that same year he led the Cardinals to their first undefeated season at 10-0-1 and a fourth straight conference championship. On the track he was a three-time MCAU champion, twice in the 330-yard intermediate hurdles and once in the 60-yard low hurdles. He set the school record in the 330-yard hurdles with a time of 40.9 seconds and led the Cardinals to the team championship in 1965. He was awarded the Cecil Martin Award in 1968.
