    Max Truex, former Warsaw High School track great, added two more records to his list of mark-shattering performances as he led Southern California University's cross-country team to its second victory of the season at Mt. San Antonioe College last week.

Truex, who has already been given the label of "Marvelous Max" by Los Angeles sports writers, toured the 2.7 mile course in 13:46, thus bettering both the meet standard of 14:02 set by Art Garcia in 1952, and the course record of 13:52 established by Whittier's great 4:10 miler, Russ Bonham, in 1952.
