Lewis Walker and Wendell Harrison provided most of the outstanding showings as they excelled, respectively, in the hurdles and the distance events. Walker was consistently a winner in the high hurdles and almost always won a place in the lows. Harrison gave his best performances when running the 880-yard run1962 saw him set a new school record in this event. A highlight in every year's program is the Harding Invitational to which ten colleges and twenty-three high schools came in 1962. Henderson edged out A&M to win the meet by a score of 47-46. Stan Miller, Jerome Prince and James Ruble handled most of the sprinting chores for the Bisons while Wendell Harrison lent a helping hand from time to time in the relays. The season was characterized by outstanding individual accomplishments, but because of the lack of depth little t eam achievement was registered.
