The Varsity Track outlook was dimmed in the eyes of Coach D'Alton by the fact that there were no returning lettermen from last years team. Doug Moseley, being the only man in the school with a track letter, went out for the baseball nine this year. leav- ing the hundred and twenty spots open to the school. He found that a broken ankle received in the final game of the cage season was too much of a handicap for his track efforts. His presence was greatly missed. Bob Fairchild lent a hand in the broad jump and in the hurdles this year, and he was certainly very helpful to the squad which was at best very thin this year. Bob Koehler. former hurdler from Beverly Hills High in Los Angeles, was outstand- ing in this event. showing terrific form in the track competition. The squad was hurt by the loss of several lettermen from last year's Senior Class. Dick Tognazzini, high point man for the 1954 season, graduated with the schools best seasonal 880 time, and Duncan Abbott took with him his 4410 and 1520 ability. Both of these men were members of the relay team. The team in addition missed Frank Kennan and Maui Lyons, who threw the shot last season with great success. Boit Sesnon, B shot putter was lost from the ranks this year. The season included the annual meets which are familiar to the Tri-Valley competi- tors. These took in the Russell Cup Meet and the League meet. The Quadrangular meet was held this-year again with other meets with Moorpark, Simi, Santa Clara, Santa Ynez and Midland. Top rowg Teague.
