DISTRICT TRACK MEET History repeated itself at the second annual district track meet held Satur- day afternoon. May 9, 1931, at the Rice Lake Fair Grounds. Our team came through victorious over Spooner, St. Croix Falls, and Waupun by scoring 40 points. The other teams were bunched close together. Spooner was second with 223 points. St. Croix third with 22 points, and Waupun fourth with 21 points. The attendance was good considering the drizzling rain which fell continuously, and prevented any spectacular showing in the various events. Rice Lake took five out of a possible seven firsts in the track events. Francis Lund won first in the 100 yard dash with a time of 11.2 secondsg second place went to James O'Gara of Rice Lake, and third to Spooner. First place in the 200 yard dash also went to Lund, second to O'Gara, and third to Waupun. Harold Shelton of Rice Lake copped first in the 440 yard dash, second going to St. Croix Falls, and third to Spooner. First place in the half mile went to Roger Chartier of Rice Lake, second and third to St. Croix Falls. Glen Everson won first place in the mile, second place was won by St. Croix Falls, and third by Waupun. Binkley of Spooner won first place in the high hurdles, and Waupun took second and- third. Busch and Binkley, both of Spooner, took first and secord places respectively, in the low hurdles, and Don Pearson of Rice Lake took third. Wentz of Waupun copped first in the discus with a throw of 104 feet, Lund of Rice Lake was second, and St. Croix Falls third. Wentz also won out in the shot put by throwing the shot 40 feet, 1 inch. Spooner took second and third in the shot. Shelton of Rice Lake gained the only first place in the field events by jump- ing 18 feet, 4 inches in the broad jump. St. Croix Falls won second. Pepper a cl Fiske of St. Croix Falls tied for first place in the pole vault by vaulting 10 feet. Busch and Goslin of Spooner tied for second. Wentz of Waupun took another first in the high jump by clearing the bar at 5 feet, 6 inchcs. St. Croix Falls took sec- ond and Spooner third. Rice Lake won first place in the relay with a t'me of 1 minute, -15 seconds. The relay team was composed of Shelton, O'Gar:1, Pearson, and Lund. Wentz of Waupun was the high point man with 15 points. Lund of Rice Lake was second with 13 points. The drizzling rain prevented the boys from making better records and although the day was unpleasant, the meet was a success. Mr. Zimmermann de- serves a great deal of credit for producing a successful and victorious track team. It was decided that the following boys should go to Madison on May 23 to com- pete in the state track meet: Francis Lund, Harold Shelton, James O'Gara, Glen Everson, and Roger Chartier. STATE TRACK MEET Francis Lund was the only one to gain any points for Rice Lake at the state track meet. He took second place in the ICO yard dash and third in the 220 yard dash. This gained Rice Lake ninth place in the meet. Roger Chartier, Harold Shelton, Glen Everson, and James O'Gara also went to Madison. These boys were all good in their respective lines, but they had to bow before the powerful opposition of the larger schools. This was Mr. Zimmerman's second year as track coach. He made a very successful showing, bringing Rice Lake up to ninth place this year. 33 .Qi '9g,,f3'9i. vw. 'X-1 ,: 1001
