Thinelads Finish Fifth In State Meet Row I: Rick Haller, Paul Cummings, Barry Bingham, Jim Balogh, Tee Cook, Harold Slavens.

Row 3: Noel Drury, Bob Hinkle, Mike Norvelle, George Cooper, Dusty Davison, Steve Patzman, Charles Fowler. Hard work is the only way to erase hard luck! This apparently was the slogan of the undermanned and inexperienced cross country squad this year. Starting off the season with a humiliating loss to the school wrestling team, the thinclads improved with every meet and concluded their schedule by capturing fifth place in the state tournament. In the first race of the season, the distance men lost to Bisbee 50-15 flow score winsl. They then outran Rincon to defeat the Rangers 25-36. In the Thunder- bird Invitational at Glendale, Catalina took ninth place in a field of ten schools. After whipping Salpointe 24-37, the Blue and White lost to Tucson and Pueblo by identical scores of 39-20. In the annual Tucson area 156 Turkey Day Run, the thinclads were third out of six teams. The prepsters then lost a heartbreaker to North Phoenix by a score of 29-28. In the Pueblo Invitational Catalina took sixth place. As previously mentioned the Blue and White turned the tables on the experts by snaring fifth place in the state meet ahead of fourteen dumbfounded competitors. Top men for the thinclads were sophomore John Donner, who took fourth spot in the state tournament, and Tee Cook, who captured fifth place in the same race. Boys winning letters for the 1959 season were Tee Cook, George Cooper, Dusty Davison, John Donner, Dave Fithian, Charlie Fowler, Rick Haller, Jim Moore, and Harold Slavens. Wil H'-l OOOOOOO O20 i

Under the direction U Q of Coach Galen Kintner, the squad worked out in all the y essential track and Held events and competed in a total N' ' A S ' of eight interscholastic meets. The purpose of the fresh- l t A man track team is to prepare incoming prepsters for the jayvee squad and to give them the background, training, Coach Galen Kintner and experience that are necessary for eventual varsity competition. It is a recognized fact among coaches and competitors everywhere that a track and lield squad is - no stronger than the training its members received - as underclassmen. 3 'Q ' 1. f 4.1.52 f , W 'v , 1960 Frosh Track Schedule , t f V ,I ,wfff J ,,,, if ' , ,g W, , ' .sd y , ,. 1 H March 2 - April.l I X il ,.
