SPEEDSKATING Alas! For the third year in a row, Churchill has failed to recapture the speed-skating title which we held so proudly during the first two years of the school ' s existence. Unfortunately, speed-skating has come to be regarded as an -unimportant event by many stu¬ dents and, as a result, not all our best skaters were representing Churchill. However, we were not without our bright lights as Don Pearson placed second in the Junior High Boys ' Un¬ limited Individual, and Bayden Robinson and George Trafton both managed to place in the Senior Unlimited Individual. Our relay teams fell apart as falls and poor ice conditions seemed to hit them the hardest. I suppose all we can do about it now is to say “wait ' til next year and then, Churchill, let ' s show them who ' s best! GIRLS SPEEDSKATING This year was not Churchill ' s year for speedskating. Our girls were out doing their best but too many spills caused our points to lag. There were bright spots however. In the Junior High section Carol Ragan came second in the Primary Finals and Judy Ibbott captured third in the Senior High division. TRACK and FIELD MAY 25, 1960 — CHURCHILL BOY ' S CP TURE INTER-HIGH FIELD DAY Because this great track and field event was held too late in the season to be written up in last year ' s book, we are taking this opportunity to congratulate those athletes who combined much time and energy in realizing Mr. Phillips ' dream of capturing the Boys ' Inter-High Track and Field title. This was accomplished by the efforts of individuals such as Larry Hodkinson, the Keeley brothers, Ed Young, Barry Nichol and others who made track and field a full time effort. Their year-round hard work has pushed Churchill to the forefront in Winnipeg high school track and field, a sport increasing in popularity and participation each year. NOVEMBER — CHURCHILL DOMINATES CROSS-COUNTRY SEASON The Churchill cross-country teams bared the cold, mud, and mileage for six races to win both Senior and Junior High-school cross-country this season. It was a team effort all the way as Churchill was often blanked from the first five finishing places, but their over-all capacity and large participation won for them five out of six of the races. Mr. Phillips’ well polished distant runners led by Fred Keeley, Barry Nichol, George Paulus, Ed Herold, and Ray Cutts did what was expected of them. PAGE 60

JANUARY — CHURCHILL DEMONSTRATES ITS TRACK POWER IN TWO INDOOR TRACK MEETS THIS WINTER In the first of two International Indoor Track Meets held at the Winnipeg Arena, Churchill ' s track team captured four firsts and two seconds in relay competition. George Paulus niched-out Ed Herold as Churchill finished first and second in the Metro High School Boy ' s One Mile race. Once again Churchill ' s victories were many, as this, Winni¬ peg’s best Indoor Track meet to date, offered Churchill athletes an opportunity to demonstrate their track power to the public (7,000 spectators in all). Churchill ' s relay teams under the valuable and enthusiastic coaching of Messrs. Kuz and Phillips won four firsts and a second. Individually: Ed Herold won the Metro High School One Mile after a shakey qualifying race; Harvey Kriscuinas ran the four best sprints of his young career as he placed a formidable fourth in the Men ' s Open sixty yard finals with a best time of 6.3 seconds and also went on to help the senior 4x160 relay team win handily; Lynn Humphreys ( Churchill ' s athlete most likely to succeed in the Olympics” — Mr. Phillips) ran a promising third in the Women ' s Half Mile event with a time only a few seconds off the Canadian Women ' s 880 record. FEBRUARY — CHURCHILL TRACKSTERS PARTICIPATE IN U. OF MINNESOTA TRACK AND FIELD MEET Months and even years of thankless training paid off for six Churchill track team members who invaded Minneapolis - St. Paul in February to run against Northwestern United States college athletes at the University of Minnesota field-house. Although the boys did not fare too well, with the exception of Harvey Kriscuinas who finished fifth in the 60 yard dash over thirty-five other college sprinters, they enjoyed themselves and took full advantage of the experience.
