Holy Cross Athletics

Bill Gould graduated from Newton High School, where he was state champion in the dash and the shot put.

During his four years at Holy Cross, he was a member of the indoor mile relay team and a multiple point winner in many dual meets, competing in the dash, shot put and discuss.

As a sophomore, Gould won the 100 and 200 against Boston College, and ran a 9.8 to tie Andy Kelly’s school record in winning the 100 at Dartmouth. He came in third in the 100-yard dash and first in the 220-yard dash that season at the New England Championship, and placed fifth in the national junior AAA meet.

During his junior season, Gould again won the 100 and 200 events against Boston College and Providence and set track records in a dual meet against Harvard. That year he placed second in the 100-yard dash and again won the 220-yard dash at the New England Championship.

Gould co-captained the track team as a senior, continuing his personal mastery over Boston College and winning the New England Championship in the 100-yard dash and the 220-yard dash.

He finished his career as a Crusader by coming in second at the IC4A Championship behind Andy Stanfield, who went on to win the Olympic gold medal in the 200 meters.
