Robinson TRACK SEASON Track has always been a most popular and success- ful sport here at Avon. ln the past three years, this sport has grown and prospered under Coach Frank Efinger. Coach Efinger was a fine runner in both pre- paratory school and college, to this day, he can keep up with the best of his trackmen. This year his team looked better than ever. The distance runners, with a half a year of rigorous training in the form of cross country and winter track behind them, appeared as if they would compose the backbone of the 1959 track team, The whole of the cross-country team, Ralph Olson, Bill Powers, Bill Em- rich, Enrique Garces, Ty Place, Dan Berry and Ted Marvin, were competitors for starting slots in the mile and half-mile races. ln the 100 and 200-yard dashes, Doug Marshall, Ralph Olson and Bill Welcli were Avon's main entries. Marshall had been clocked at 10.5 seconds in the 100 which is only three-tenths of a second off the school record. Pete Erskine and Doug Marshall handled the dif- ficult job of the high and low hurdles respectively, while Cole Van De Water, Porter Daniel and Kirk Michaux were Avons principal high-jumpers. The shot-putting this season was done by returning letter- men Chuck Davis and Duncan Finlayson, with the former being our number one man in the broad jump. Sandy Fisher and Pete Erskine, both of whom had gained much valuable experience last year, were our pole vaulters. -Aamir
