 After asking legendary North Texas track coach "Pop" Noah if he could work out with the team as a freshman in 1951, Paul Patterson not only made the squad but became a standout middle-distance performer that established numerous meet and school records.
A four year letterwinner, Patterson's specialty was the 880-yard run, a race he won 16 out of 22 times he competed in the event during his career. In 1953 and 1955, Patterson went undefeated in the 880, setting a new school record at the Texas All-College Meet record with a time of 1:52.
During his four-year career at North Texas, Patterson also competed in 53 relay races, including every Spring Medley, two-mile and distance-medley event the school entered. Of all the events he competed throughout his career, only twice did Patterson fail to earn points for his team.
