Downing three dual opponents be- fore dropping the last two meets, the Indian thinclads produced a. much improved record over that of the previous year. With several out- standing individuals and good depth in most events, things were looking up for the '72 tracksters. When district rolled around, the team was feeling prime in several areas. Weight stars Stan Washing- ton and Bruce Richter pulled through the rainy weather to take first and second respectively in both the shot and discus. Washington's discus throw set a new district mark of 170'3n. Powering his way down the sloggy runway to leap 20'11 , John Spakousky won the long jump for the Indians. Distance runner Paul Diedrich took second in the mile run behind meet record holder Claude Neuen- schwander of Ashland. Rounding out the five state qualifiers, sophomore Curt Mendenhall placed fourth in the 100-yard dash in a time of 10 flat. Only two contenders from Rose- burg placed in state. Stan Washing- ton spun the discus to a fourth place finish and landed the shot out far enough to snag third. Placing right behind Stan in the shot was team- mate Bruce Richter. Boys' Track 131

Maidens Drop To Third In District GIRLS' TRACK - Front Row: Miss Stevens, Shelle Garland Anne Griffin Randa Hurle Y 1 1 Y, Shirley Eaton, Sandy Kester, Judy Kemper. Although the track maidens boasted several outstanding individ- uals in their program this year, a lack of depth slowed them in their pursuit of another district title. Placing third at district behind the two strong clubs of Klamath Falls and Ashland, the tracksters gained needed experience and several trips to the state meet in a variety of events. Winning two events and placing in the top three in six others bought state tickets for four Roseburg girls. At state competition they were able to grab three places - Debbie Brun- dige, fifth in the 880 and fourth in the mile, and Linda Ganzini, first in the high jump with a new state high jump record of 5'3 Still a young team, numbering sophomores as half of the club, the track girls will most likely be back next spring in strong contention for the top seat at district. 132 Girls' Track Middle Row: Deb Murray, Evelyn Bellotti, Leslie Hammell, Aleta Harcourt, Laura Deb Brundige, Sandy Orr, Barb Trotter, Den- way, Sue Palmer, Kris Parker, Linda i909 H11mPhl'i9S, Barb Schroeder- Back Row: Rhonda Garrison, K.
