A nationally-ranked middle-distance runner, William G. "Billy" Smith set several Boston Unviversity indoor and outdoor records during his undergraduate career at the University, most of which stood for many years until they were broken by his "pupils." Simtty ran everything from the 440 to the mile for Hall of Famer Doug Raymond and could be counted to score in every meet. He represented the Terriers at all of the national meets, including the Milrose Games, Philadelphia Enquirer Meet, the New York and Boston K. of C. meets, the Penn Relays, IC4A's and the Nationals. He still held the Boston Garden record in the Bingham 880 at the time of his induction and was twice selected to represent the United States on the national team.
