The type of success story that seems to go with RPI is illustrated here ... Barry Stepp was warming up in gym class one day when the instructor pulled him aside and suggested he go out for track because he looked pretty good ... The Result: Stepp’s 1:54.4 half-mile set a long-standing school record ... He also owned a piece of the RPI mile relay record of 3:24.4 ... Captain of track team in senior year.
