Forty-one of these boys ac- tually competed in interscholastic meets. Near- ly all the boys showed a gradual development during the season. What started out to appear to be a dismal season ended in a blaze of glory. Thirteen boys were awarded major letters in track. Eight of these were seniors. The two juniors and three sophomores will form the nucleus for the l96O squad. This year's team lacked depth in all events, fast sprinters and hurdlers, and any semblance of a good relay team of any distance. They had eight seniors who performed very well late in the season for wins over Loras and Campion in a tri- angular meet and over Loras in a dual meet. Three boys set new school records. Bob VanderBerg set a new half mile record of 2 minutes 3.2 seconds in a dual night meet on the Senior track against Loras. Lee Carlson and Bob Johnson set new school records in the state outdoor meet at Ames. Carlson put the shot 60 feet M inch for not only a new school record, but a state record as well. Johnson made his in the mile run with the time of 4 minutes 36.5 seconds. Dubuque lost early dual meets to both Clinton and Rock Island in both sophomore and varsity divisions. After that they won two triangular and three varsity dual meets. They started the season with 8th place in the M.V.C. 66 indoor meet, but raised this to fourth place in both the Sophomore and Varsity divisions of the outdoor meet. They placed third in the tough Clinton state district meet and fifth in the annual Gateway Classic meet at Clinton. Captain Lee Carlson was the backbone of the squad. Lee started and ended the season breaking records in the shot put. These in- cluded the M.V.C. Indoor and Outdoor, the State Ditsrict, the State, the Gateway Classic, the Peacock Relays, the A.A.U. Junior Indoor and Outdoor, the Waterloo Triangular and a Dubuque High field and school record. His spectacular work in the shot and discuss en- abled the team to make a good showing at every meet that they were in. Lee was beaten only once in the shot put in l9 tries. He also won the discus ll times in l4 attempts. Carl- son ended the season by winning the Senior A.A.U. shot put event with a 51 foot 6 inch throw of the l6 pound shot. Captain Carlson lead the team scoring with l8l varsity points. This was followed by Ken Montgomery 88, Mike Reilly 74, Jim Strain 4l, Lester Justmann 4l, Bob Johnson 34, Bob VanderBerg 32, Bill Miller 3l, Bruce Mont- gomery 23, Jim Meyer 22, Dennis Mulvehill l5, Martin Bardill l4, and Ronnie Folger 9. ln all 29 different boys scored varsity points. The sophomores showed better than average strength which may speak well for the spring of l96l.
