On May 5 the 1973 edition of the WHS track team captured its second Class A A State Championship in a row. The Bulldogs ran away with the team title by compiling a score of 88 points to runner-up Safford's 77. Winslow was led by long distance runner Woody Franklin who captured first in the mile and the two mile, and by sophomore Ronnie Van who won first in the long jump and second in the 100 yard dash and low hurdles with a third in the 220 yard dash. Franklin broke the state records in both of his races with times of 4:22. 5 in the mile and 9:25. 5 in the two mile. Van also broke the state record in the long jump with a leap of 23'8 . Because of hard and long hours of practice the Bulldogs were able to compile a record that contained only 1 loss during the season with all wins chalked up to the credit side. The team has won 7 invitationals and four dual meets. The only loss came at the Buckeye Invitational. ABOVE: Woody Franklin LEFT: Ronnie Van BELOW: Danny Miller 19
