TRACK Track Opens With Win Trojans Contencl for Honorsg Svob, Donner Lead In Track Events Catalina's track squad opened the 1961 season by walloping arch-rival Rincon by the overwhelming score of 80 2X5 to 32 3f5, and immediately set itself up as a leading contender for city, conference, arid state honors. Leading the Trojan onslaught were junior dis- tance runner John Donner and senior pole vaulter Bob Svob. Donner, who set a state record in his sopho- more year with a clocking o-f 4125.3 in the mile, opened his 1961 quest for a new record by running the distance in 4:35, despite heavy winds. Then the junior distance- man took his second blue ribbon of the day by winning the 880 yard run in 2:01.3, only two seconds off of the city record. Int the meantime, Svob was taking twin wins by pole vaulting 12 feet and hurling the disk 129 feet. Catalina Hosts City Relays Thirteen meets held the attention of the Trojan track- sters, and they were hosts for the City Relays on March 11, and for the city championships on April 27 and 28. ln addition, the Trojans hosted Salpointe, Pueblo, and Amphi in dual and triangular meets. Dual meets away from home were with Rincon, Tucson, Glen- dale, Prescott, Washington, and Pueblo. Othe-r meets the blue and white participated in were the Tucson Relays at Pueblo, the Glendale lnvitational, The Southern Arizona Relays at Tucson, the conference qualifying meet at Rincon, the inter-division meet at Rincon, and the State Meet at the University of Arizona.
