Bryan rates high in hurdling events, led 1974 TRACK by Daryl Kleinhen's record performances The Track Team was only able to manage a season of 2-7, but talent was definitely not lacking. The Bears performance can mainly be attributed to inconsistency and depth in personnel. Daryl Kleinhen, MVP and co-captain along with Rick DeLue, highlighted the season by qualify¬ ing for the state semi-finals. He also turned in first place showings in hurdling events at the Blade Relays, Napoleon Gold Medals, and the Ottawa Glandorf Relays. In addi¬ tion, Daryl set a school record in the high h urdles in a smooth 15.3 seconds. The team's strength was definitely in the hurdling and sprinting categories. In most of the tournaments, the Bears placed high in the 220, 440, and 880 relay; along with the high and low hurdles. Seniors Bruce Taylor, Rick DeLue, and Bruce Vincent, with Sophomore Eric Olnhau- sen, all turned in fine performances throughout the year. Eric was selected the Most Improved Cinderman for his efforts. Because of the steady improvement displayed by the cindermen, and a fine fourth place finish at the sectionals, the team's future is looking bright. The field events have many underclassmen returning which should help strength¬ en this season's big weakness. The loss of Daryl Kleinhen will be felt in the hurdling events, but the overall picture shows a lot of experienced personnel returning and a brighter season for the Bryan Cindermen. 1974 Track Team.

Bryan golf gains distinction as linksmen 1974 GOLF bring home trophy from journey to State The golf team did it right this year. They began the season with a trip to Kentucky over the spring break. A good mood was started, hopes were high, and the boys were ready to play. What was to follow was something never before ac¬ complished by any Bryan team. Not only did the links- men go undefeated in regular season matches, but they also came out of the State Championship holding their heads high. The second place finish at State earned much distinction for the duffers. Certainly, such a great team effort was the result of much individual accomplishment. Marc Stockwell was the duffer's MVP and recipient of the Jack Greene Award. Marc was also medalist in the Napoleon Invitational and the sectional tournament. Among his other accomplish¬ ments, Marc shot a record 31 on the back nine at State. Mike Stockwell recorded the lowest round this year, tying the school record with a blistering two under par 70 at Ironwood Country Club. Craig Herman was voted the most improved player. All league awards went to Rob Dillman, Marc Stockwell, and Rick Poodle Dunlap. Coach Shumaker deserves much recognition for his role in the successful season. An organizer and inspirator, Shu truly earned the title of Coach. The linksmen have much to look forward to next sea¬ son. However, with golf becoming a fall sport, conflicts arise between golf and football. With some of the team playing football instead of golf, the duffers could give up a chance at being State Champs. 1974 State Runners-Up. KNEELING: Coach Shumaker, R. Dillman. STAND¬ ING: C. Herman, Marc Stockwell, Mike Stockwell, R. Dunlap. LEFT: With intentions of making another sandie, Rob Dillman blasts out of a trap. Rob's contributions to the team were always audible. TOP: Mike Stockwell sends a tough pitch shot at the eighteenth pin. Mike had a great deal of potential and often used it. 20 Spring Golf
