A photograph of Springfield College track and field athlete Donald A. Fredericks, class of 1968, perfomring a broad jump with his arms in the air. This appears to have been taken during a victory against UMass in the spring of 1968. Fredericks also competed in the high hurdles and sprints. There are people around him watching as he jumps in the air.
