O ml JOHN LACEY John Lacey, the fastest prep 220- yard dash man in the nation, ran 20.7 at Huntington Beach, which ranked him as one of the fastest high school runners ever. Just before he ran this splendid race, he also sprint- ed 9.7 in the 100-yard dash. ln 1958 John placed second in the C.B.L. finals in the 100 and 220-yard dash. ln 1959 John Lacey placed second in the 220 and 440-yard dash and he took fourth in the C.l.F. finals with a time of 20.8, which made him the fastest iunior in the state of Califor- nia. This year John is undoubtedly one of the best ever at Fohi. As John is graduated from Fontana High, he leaves behind two records which will be hard to break. John also ran on the record-holding' half mile and mile relay team, where he ran fine anchor legs each time. He was co-captain of the Fohi track team for 1958 and 1959 and won the most valuable tro- phy for 1959. TONY METOYER Tony Metoyer, one of the leading seniors, along with John Lacey fin- ished his high school career this year at Fohi, and it was undoubtedly one of his best. Metoyer placed second in the 70-yard high hurdles and the 120- yard low hurdles in 1958 in the B division, and went on to place sixth and seventh, respectively, in the C.l.F. finals. ln 1959 he won the C.B.L. 120 high hurdles and was third in the 180-yardrlow hurdles. By win- ning the 120 high hurdles, this made him the second C.B.L. track champion at Fohi following Duane Milleman. As Metoyer leaves Fohi this year he leaves behind four school records, 8.9 in the 70 high hurdles and 13.0 in the 120-yard low hurdles for the B division. He holds the 120-yard high hurdles record with a time of 14.5 and 19.7 in the 180-yard low hurdles, for the varsity division. He also ran on the record-holding half mile relay team. Tony Metoyer won the most valuable trophy for the B division in 1958. CHARLES BENSON Charles Benson, the co-captain of this year's splendid track team, showed himself worthy of this honor as he broke the 880-yard record the first time he ran this race in the time of 2:06. Charles went ahead to break his own record in the time of 2:01. He also holds the 660-yard dash rec- ord here at Fohi. Charles placed third in the C.B.L. finals in 1959, and went on to be sixth in the C.l.F. finals. Charles also runs on the record- holding half mile relay team and the mile relay squad. Great things are expected of Benson, because he was only a iunior this season.
