Re: Most Penn Relays Watches
Sorry folks. Lots of "right" answers listed so far. And someone hit it best, it all depends on how you want to count.
There was a time when Olympic Development winners did not receive watches. There has been a long period during which IC4A section winners have received watches. So watches isn't that simple a term.
But here are some major winners, with various categories counted (but not IC4A). C-College; HS-High School; OD-Olympic Development/Open; F-Freshman mile relay (back in the days when frosh were ineligible for varsity competition), M-Masters:
21 Lorna Forde (21 OD)
15 Herman Frazier (5 C, 10 OD)
14 Norm Tate (8 C, 5 OD, 1M)
12 Diane Guthrie (9 C, 3 HS)
12 Marty Liquori (8 C, 1 HS, 1 F, 2 OD)
11 Eamonn Coghlan (9 C, 2 OD)
10 Mark Belger (10 C)
10 Don Paige (9 C, 1 HS)
10 Ron Delany (9 C, 1 F)
10 Charlie Jenkins (8 C, 1 HS, 1 F)
9 Frank Ohl (8 C, 1 F)
9 Larry James (6 C, 1 HS, 1 F, 1 OD)
8 John Woodruff (7 C, 1 OD)

Re: Most Penn Relays Watches
regarding blacklily's question:
The NCAA Manual does not cover awards/prizes given by a host institution with the exception that such award may not be cash or the equivalent (savings bond, gift certificate, etc.)
Individual schools are barred from giving a team championship ring or watch in excess of $300 value, and perhaps this is what you're thinking of. Or perhaps you're thinking back to 1986 when the NCAA re-interpreted one of its rules to mean that no host NCAA institution could give any sort of award/prize to a high school athlete (this was part of the no try-out aspect of recruiting, and not directly related to the amateurism aspect of awards).
Simply, I don't know what you're thinking of. Penn Relays has given watches since at least 1899, and probably since the beginning in 1895.
