Union College Athletics

The 1930 Men’s Outdoor Track Team won the mile relay at the Penn Relays, breaking an eight-year-old record held by Rutgers. The time was 3:21.08, which won the Class A mile title. The coach of the Dutchmen was Harold Anson Bruce. Team captain Tom Bowie ran a time of 49 8/10, snapping the Middle Atlantic (MASCAA) and Union records. Two Dutchmen finished sixth and ninth respectively in the finals of the IC4A Championships in Boston. Union defeated Manhattan and RPI, and was second in the MASCAA Championships. Union’s loss to Lafayette came by just seven points, the first loss for the team in dual competition in six seasons.
