Tony Marshall and Mike Obershan earned 4th and 6th respectively in the 220, and Brent Pulley used some forgotten strength to place 2nd in the mile run. The meet ended with the mile relay and so did Reagan's hopes for first place. Anderson was 14 points ahead. If we could place well and Anderson somehow faltered, we could seal the meet, but we hoped for too much. Anderson took 1 st and Reagan came in 3rd to place second in the meet, 19' i points behind the Trojans who seemed like a young Reagan High that suddenly challenged the city years ago. And as the last runner crossed the line, the rain came down, pouring in sheets over what crowd was left and mixing with the smiles and tears that ended a seven year domination in Track.
