Warren and Neal sparked the team all season long with victories in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. Jimmy Donahue set the pace for the season by grabbing first place in the 120 high and the 330 intermediate hurdles in the first meet of the year, the Rattler Relays, where the Chargers found little com- petition.

David Constanzo's school record of 12 feet in the pole vault of- fered little consolation for the disappointed Chargers. It was a determined Churchill track team that went to Seguin for the Matador Relays March 18. When the smoke had cleared, the Chargers had won the meet without taking a single first place ribbon, but by placing in all but one event. Churchill captured third place in the Northeast Invitational meet against the same stiff competition at the Alamo Relays a few weeks before, where they finished ninth. Warren made the best showing of the meet for WC with a 10.1 second place in the 100. The 440 relay team of Neal, Warren, Donahue and George Jahant also took a second place, setting a school record of 42.5. In a preview of the District 31-AAAA meet, the Chargers ran rough-shod over the nearest competitors, john jay, in the Mule Relays. The Chargers totaled 94 113 points, far ahead of the other 14 squads. Warren scored 27 points for four events to take the high point honors for the meet. The only first place for the Chargers came in the 440 relay. With push-button speed and lots of depth, the Chargers walked off with the record smashing District 31-AAAA Meet at Northside Stadium. The thin clads won five first place ribbons and totaled 148 points to easily outdistance second place jay by 32 points. The five wins came in the 440 relay, Warren in the long jump, Donahue in the 120 hurdles, Warren and Neal, first and second in the 100 and Neal and Warren, first and second in the 220. Overall, Churchill qualified eight individuals, the 440 and mile relay, for the regional meet, but no cindermen qualified for state competition.
