Record-Breaking Miler Bill Bonthron ’34

Thank you for publishing the greatest Princeton athletes. I was surprised that Bill Bonthron ’34 was not on the list. He broke the 1,500-meter world record in 1934, held the American record in the mile, and was the 1934 NCAA mile champion. His name was foremost in Princeton track and field history for as long as I can remember.
