Cross Country, Track & Field (1969-72)
A four-year letterman in cross country and track & field. Duffy was a cross country All-America selection in 1968, finishing sixth at the NCAA championship that year. He helped the Wolf Pack men’s cross country team win all of its dual meets and cap off its perfect season by capturing the 1968 NCAA College Division Cross Country team championship and the 1968 Far Western Conference championship. The championships were taken away from the Wolf Pack a few months later when the NCAA determined that several of the student-athletes on the team were academically ineligible due to classes they had taken at colleges in England. Duffy set school records in 5,000 and 10,000 meter events in track (since broken) and went onto coach cross country at Reno High School.
