15th Annual Field Day Held in L.A. Coliseum - 14 New Records Set Jam-packed and profitable is the only way May 11th could be described for Ambassador College. Before the cultural evening came the exercise and healthy competition of the afternoon. Excitement and surprise lay in store as nearly 1500 sports fans took their seats around 1 p.m. that day. As the afternoon progressed, enough records were broken to put Capitol out of business. New records were set in 14 out of 22 events, and one old record was tied! The location of the track meet was certainly conducive to the setting of records, and everyone found the world-famous Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum very "a-track-tive." It was another first as the 15th annual Track and Field Meet of Ambassador College was held at the site of the 1932 Olympic Games, although we did not quite fill to capacity the 100,000 seat stadium. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
