Note: The original athletic department photo held by the MSU Museum does not identify the top row middle runner in the Hope Invitational trophy photo. Charles Perkins ran as second man for M.A.C. in the Hope Invitational meet and would most certainly have been included in the team photo. Hence, that runner is identified as such.
