The initial squad of the George Wythe Bulldog track team proved to be the “Cinderella team” of the school’s first year as an athletic prowess in the Central District. Full of determination and fight, Coach Dick Ernsberger’s “‘thinclads,” from early January to the latter days of May, without a track, ran through snow, sleet, mud, up hills and splashed through water. Un- deterred, this “team without stars” sped on to a 5-2 dual meet record, placing Wythe fourth among the Richmond Area high schools.
