TRACK The 1950 track team wa s proud to initiate its new uniforms by getting second place in a triangular meet with Roanoke and Morton. The first meet was held on the home track. Harold Neumann, veteran track man, won two firsts in the long distance running. His victories were in the mile and the half-mile. Because it was a very cold and windy day, the dashmen did not do too much. The team did very well considering it was made up mostly of underclassmen who lack experience. The next meet was also held at Metamora with Eureka. The visitors won 68 to 40. Many of our track meets were postponed because of bad weather. The Woodford county meet was held at Metamora in May. Our team also went to the Gridley relays. Coach Walter Laitas was manager of the Illio confer- ence track meet at the Peoria stadium in which the track team participated. Last year ' s 1949 team took third in both the Illio and Woodford county meets. Kenneth Sharick took firsts in the 100 and 440-yard dashes. Charles Doak threw the discus for a first place and Gene Fehr took first in the half-mile in the Illio conference meet. These are a few of last year ' s high-point men. The graduating trackmen of the 1950 season are Bruce Seeber, Eugene Nauman, Fred Fandel, Vernon Guth and Marvm Smith. Sixty-Seven
