Girls Track 35 Pollard Earns Two Medals At State Meet When he was a freshman, Brian Pollard's goal was to qualify for the state track meet all four years. This year brought that dream a little clos- er to reality with his third year as a state qualifier, but this year was a little different in that he brought home two fourth medals — one in pole vault and another in the 300 intermediate hurdles. The boys team earned several medals and honors at many other meets, especially the 1600 meter re- lay team comprised of Shane Strobel, Max Norvell, Brian Pollard and Brent Ksiazek. This relay team's time was only a fraction off the school's record. 1. Shawn eases over the high hurdles. 2. Coach Boeka, Brian Pollard, Shane Stro- bel.
