1972 TRACK Cindermen win sectional crowng Bostater, Bowman go to State The 1972 varsity track team completed their schedule with a fair 5-2 record, but their accomplishments after the regular season made the squad an outstanding one. After finishing second in the NWOAL meet, the Golden Bears won the AA sectionals at Toledo and then went on to capture third place at the district. Directed by coaches Laverich and Reiser, many fine individual talents blossomed in the spring. Junior Rob Bostater, who ran the mile, seemed to set a new record every time he put on the track uniform. Rob starred at the Blade Relays, the Lake Flyer Relays, the Quincy, Michigan Relays, and the NWOAL meet. Bryan records were shattered by Terry Bowman in the two-mile, Bostater in the mile, Larry Luderman in the shot put, Daryl Kleinhen in the 180-yard low hurdles, and by Osborn, T. Garza, Vincent and Kuehne in the half-mile relay. Two Bruins qualified for the state meet in Columbus. Terry Bowman placed third in the two-mile, and Rob Bostater captured a fourth and an eighth in the mile and half-mile respectively. With the bulk of the lettermen returning, prospects for 1973 seemed favorable. l i ABOVE: Freshman athlete Ray Johnson, specializing in the longjump, settles into the sand pit.
