A brief recap for now... a full transcribe from the RRCA archive when time allows...

HOLYOKE, MA JUNE 9TH: Jim McDonugh, Millrose AA's 40-year-old distance star, captured the sixth & final Olympic High Altitude Training trial in 96-degree scorching heat over Holyoke's rugged, mountain course. There were over 150 entries received by race director Walter Childs, but only 57 were willing to challenge nature's torrid conditions.

The race actually started at 2:42 p.m. with the temp. reading 96 degrees in the shade. It must have been close to 100 degrees in the sun.
