Geneseo Township High School 1946 TRACK The 1946 track squad had a successful season by doing well in most of the meets which they entered. Two boys, Bill Neulieb and Glenn Farrell, were standouts throughout the season and between them they won many points for the Maple Leaf team. Neulieb proved himself to be the most outstanding sprinter in this part of the state by flashing in the 100 yd. dash with these places: First in district and Third in the state. He was elected captain and scored 78243 points during the season. Farrell, though out some of the season with a pulled muscle, made a name for himself by breaking the 880 yd. run record for the Geneseo Invita- tional Relays, the third largest meet of its kind in Illinois. The team as a whole took part in seven triangular and dual meets and lost only to Rock Island in this group. This was the first loss in triangular and dual competition since April 16, 1944, which is undoubtedly an out- standing record. Other team placings Were second in the Night Relays, as defending champions at District 5, and taking the fourth spot at the conference meet. There were 20 major lettermen: Nine seniors and eleven juniors. The sophomore squad also turned in an impressive record by winning a good number of their meets. A large percentage of the younger squad's meets were of the postal type. Rodney Remme was conference champion in the mile run for the sophomores. Marvin Neulieb Was elected hon- orary captain. Twenty-one boys were awarded sophomore letters. CROSS COUNTRY The cross country team put a feather in their cap when they Walked off with the North Central conference championship led by Jerry Wells, conference champ. In dual meets and cross country runs they broke about even with wins and losses. Jerry Wells was elected captain. Top Row: D. Hillmer, U. Pzixson, IJ. Christensen, II. jones, R, Collis, ll.

The varsity's chief weakness was a lack of reserve strength. For the season as a whole a record of five wins against four losses was turned in while in conference play they won two and lost three. Four lettermen returned from the fine '45 teamfi Don Meier was elected honorary captain for the 1946 varsity eleven. The freshman-sophomore squad had an exceptionally good year, turning in a record of six wins and only two setbacks for the entire sea- son. The underclass eleven elected Duke Malmquist as their honorary captain. VARSITY SCHEDULE Geneseoi 13 ,.,.. Geneseo 26 ..,,. Geneseo 20 ,,,,.
