captain Tom Tollefson is out in front as the Maples Nn Hazel Park 63-46. Thinclads win 76th straight Under the guidance of Coach Ambrose, the Sea- holm track team extended its record to 76 consecu- tive league dual meet victories. The victory string started back in 1953. The thinclads made their league debut a success by routing Ferndale 72-37. Senior Bruce Landino paced the team as he took firsts in the long jump and both dashes. They followed up with wins over Southfield, Berkley, and powerful Kimball. Next the Maples faced mighty Hazel Park, a contender for the state track championship. Hazel Park took an early lead in their attempt to break our victory string. But the Maples came from behind, taking 32 of the last 40 points, to win 63-46. The team capped off a perfect dual meet season with a 63-46 triumph over Groves, bringing the Frank A. Whitney City Championship to SHS. The Maples also fared well in the relays. At the 1966 Huron Relays they placed fifth in a field of 67 schools. The thinclads followed by taking tenth at the Spartan Relays, out of 56 schools. They next took a sixth at the Central Michigan Relays, one of the largest prep meets in the country. At the Dick Waters Relays, they turned in one of their best performances, taking second. Coach Ambrose guided the team to its 76th straight league dual meet victory. . l Kathie Riegelman i nl Vg E will ks M, . - - , ' -f , 421 if 1 3. La ura Ri ll wi 'Q .

The only two big disappointments of the year were the League and State Meets. At the League Meet the Maples finished third behind Kimball and Hazel Park, dropping their chance for another SMA championship. At the State Meet the team failed to place. Although points were awarded for first through third places, the thinclads went pointless. The team boasted many outstanding members in the 1966 season. Junior shotputter Chuck Loiko was awarded the Bucky Zoellin Award for his 51' Tala toss at the State Meet. Bruce Landino and Chris Charlton starred in the long jump and TOO and 220 yard dashes. Greg Chryst and Terry Voehl earned recognition at the high and low hurdles. Human piston Roger Holtz starred in the 440 with a time of 50.5 seconds. The two mile relay team of Terry Fremuth, Alex Grether, Tom Tollefson, and Mike Branic set a school record of 8:l3.0 at the Spartan Relays. The four mile relay team, combining the talents of Grether, Tollefson, Jim Lyneis, and Chip Gorman turned in a record time of l8:49.2. At the regionals, Branic, Lyneis, Holtz, and Neil Marzella ran a 3:26.l mile relay. Outstanding track and cross country runner Mike Branic is set to break another tape. l l
