-1987 Redbirds Execute Excellena Dave Hirsbrunner completed his four year track career by becoming the first D.H.S. athlete to become an individual State Champion. Victories in the 3200M run and the 1600M run at the State Meet made Dave a double winner. His twenty points were added to ten earned by Dean Wagner's discus (2nd place) and shot put (4th place) results to give the Redbirds the Class C runner-up trophy. Other State qualifiers were Sean Stevenson in the pole vault and Pat McGettigan in the high jump.
