Class:
1917

Preti '17 was also an inductee as a member of the 1915 cross country team, a team honored primarily on the swift strides of Preti, who finished second in the IC4A meet in New York, which Maine won. This was in pre-NCAA days and considered the national championship. In 1913, Preti was first in the state meet and third in New England, and in 1914 he was first in New England in cross country and crowned the state two-mile champion, showing promise of what was to come in 1915. In 1916, Preti placed third in New England cross country and 11th at the IC4A meet.
