if No one really wins in the two-mile run as evidenced by the agony on victor Travis Chapin's face. Speedsters Gelvin, Foos lead thinclads to sparlzling 7-1 slate Although plagued by dismal weather, the Truckers dashed out of the starting blocks and hurdled the first three opponents of the ,66 track season. The Big Blue christened the cinder campaign against the Plymouth Big Red April 7. Snowflakes fell and so did the Big Red, as the Truckers snowed their guests under a blanket of points 116-11. The Truckers made Ashland their second victim, dulling the Arrows 71-56. Jack Gelvin, Mr. Consistent in the scoring tables, was the only double winner for the Big Blue, turning in the top time in both dash events. Coach Hershey had high praise for the entire squad and claimed it took a major effort to stop the highly-touted Arrows. The powerful Truckers collared win No. 3 by turning back Perkins and Berlin Heights in a triangular meet. Norwalk tallied 91 points, Perkins SZM, and Berlin Heights 15 W. Scott Hill thrilled a partisan Whitney Field crowd by shattering the school record in the 120-yd. high hurdles. The hard-working senior's fine 15.6 clocking erased the 15.8 mark set by Norm Call in 1938. Once again Gelvin and Gary Draxler broke into the double win column. Head coaclz Howard Hershey and assistant coach Tony Zuppe take time from their schedule for this picture. 117
