Fourth State Title Slips By Eagles For a record three years, the Connell track team had captured the State Class A Championship track title. The brilliant streak was cut short of four by Woodland High School and some unfortunate injuries this year. Connell made it's bid with Randy Fox in the 880 yard run, the mile and the two mile, Ron Winn in the 100 yard and 220 yard dashesg the 880 yard relay team of Winn, Scott Herron, Mark McCary and Dwight Loeweng and Kent Mackay in the javelin. On the basis of qualifying times, Connell was favored to take the title again. Ron Winn, even though suffering damaged muscles earlier this year, was the favorite to win both of the dashes, but his ailment reoccurred and proved to be a determining factor in Connell's dethroning. A tie for 17th place was the best Connell could produce. Randy Fox took 3rd in the mile and 6th in the half-mile, the 880 relay team, with the injured Winn as anchorman, placed 5th, and Kent Mackay sent the javelin flying for 6th place. The regular season was highlighted with many personal bests and new school records. Kent Mackay set new re- cords in the javelin, as did several others in their specialty. One of the surprises of the season was Randy Odom in the discus throw. Although only a first year trackman, junior Randy broke the oldest school record and established a new at 147 feet, 8 inches. Unfortunately he missed qualifying for state by only a few inches. Appropriately, awards went to members of the state team. Randy Fox and Scott Herron were co-inspirational, and Ron Winn was voted captain. 3 ! 5 1 l Q - ' C SPRINTERS Row 1: Rick Little, Dwight Loewen, Rod Merrigan, Randy McGuffin, Brian Drouhard, Mark McCary, Ed Kefgen, Stuart Rush.
