They had very strong field events but were somewhat weak in long distance running and hurdle events. Outstanding trackmen were Keith Lodding in the high jump, long jump, and triple jump and Bob Nordbye in the discus and shot put. The frosh-soph team did as well as the varsity. They finished with a record of nine wins and four losses, which placed them second in the conference. Coach G. W. Busse's well balanced team showed no weaknesses in track or field events. Many outstanding members contributed to the frosh-soph team's high finish. Showing a lot of skill and determination, Javier Castillo labovej starts off the blocks in a relay race while fellow trackman, Bob Broz, lends a foot. Displaying tremendous emotional and physical stress and strain of running the 100 yard dash, Dick Swade irightl throws himself at the tape in a victory success.
