It may be a long time before the Murray stables breeds another Thoroughbred like Marshall Gage, the Hoosier who dominated OVC track three years. Gage set an all time Murray scoring record, and led the Racers to twenty-five consecutive dual meet wins and three of six straight conference championships.
As a sophomore in 1958, he scored a record 140 points. The same year at the conference meet in Cookeville, Tennessee, he won the high hurdles, low hurdles, and placed second in the hundred-yard dash. Gage won all three events in 1959, and scored 15 points to set a meet record. The following year, a leg injury kept the team captain out of conference competition. When Gage graduated in 1960, he had set school and conference records in both hurdle events and in scoring.
