Simon, F. Holt, G. Shumway, G. Andersen. ITH seven returning lettermen on the field, this year's track team had good prospects for a successful season. The returning lettermen were Steve Harshman, shot put and discus, Fred Holt, pole vaultg Ron Lobeda, half mileg Dave Roller, hurdlerg ,Iohn Seldon, pole vault, Clay Smith, mile, and Ken Stevenson, sprinter. However, the team was hindered because three other lettermen, Rich Holmes, Ed Imhof and Joe Tate, were unable to return because of illness. Fifteen different events are involved in track. Thus, there is something for every type of talent: mile runs, dashes, hurdles, relays, jumps, shot put, discus and pole vault. Last year's thinclads broke five school records. Clay Smith broke the mile record made in 1961 of 4:4-3.9 and revised it to 4:38.9. The 180-yard low hurdles record of 21.5 set in 1962 was edged out by Dave Roller's 21.4 effort. Ed lmhof and .loe Tate, with graduates Duane Young and Bob Peck, teamed up to erase the 880-yard relay record set in 1960. The new mark of 1:30.0 beats the old by 1.4- seconds. Graduate Tom Brunton's 14-4 ft. effort in the discus beat the 1962 record of 14-0 ft. 9 inches. Fred Holt's 12 ft. 6 inch mark in the pole vault is now tops in the books after he several times bettered his old mark. Last year the cindermen came through with a 3-3 rec- ord: FP 90, Enumclaw 37g FP 46351, Glacier 75115 FP 60, Lakes 673 FP 4-6, Clover Park 59, Mt. Rainier 54-3 FP 65, Kent 62, FP 67, Auburn 60.
