BC was labeled an all weather team early in the season as they broke records in 90 temperatures at the Sioux City Relays. The 400 meter relay QDaeon Fritz, Dave Winterrowd, Rod Hedberg, and Kerby Huss? earned a spot at the Drake Relays during the Sioux City meet, making it the third consecutive year that Battle Creek has run in the Drake Relays. Five Bomber thinclads qualified in six events for the State meet. Eaming the right to compete were: Kerby Huss in the 100 and 200 meter dash, Daeon Fritz in the high hurdles, john Hatling in the 1600 meter run, Rod Hedberg in the long jump, and the medley relay of Huss, Hatling, Winterrowd, and Fritz.
