Pottetti Selected As All-American

Harvard's outstanding sophomore cross-country runner, Dave Pottetti, added another to his long list of honors as he was named an All-American in recognition of his 23rd place finish in the NCAA meet in New York on Nov. 25.

The top 25 finishers in that meet are named All-Americans, and Pottetti is only the second runner in Harvard's history to earn this distinction. Keith Colburn finished next for the Crimson in 69th place. Injuries prevented Roy Shaw and Captain Doug Hardin from entering.

Pottetti, who won the Greater Boston Meet, finished seventh in the IC4A's a week earlier to lead Harvard in its third-place performance. The star harrier, who was the New York State and Eastern States Champion his junior year in high school, holds the freshman cross-country record.
