KLOG TRACK Kirkwood High School completed one of the most such cessful track seasons in recent years. The team was well balanced, and several of the boys were in the spotlight in every track meet. The school is very proud of the team. Kirkwood dropped a dual meet to Media by a very close margin. Several of the boys won top honors. K.H.S. won a triangular meet at Biggsville by a large margin, with Biggsville second, and Stronghurst third. Kirkwood placed two men in the upper four in nearly every event. The varsity relay received their first victory. Kirkwood placed third in the Warren County Track Meet. There were contestants from five schools. They placed in their respective order: Roseville, Monmouth, Kirkwood, Alexis, and Little York. Gunter brought home two firsts for Kirkwood, while Guilinger and Mink each won a first. The Kirkwood Track Team was nosed out of first place at the K. M. B. S. Meet by the strong Media Team. The meet was very fast considering the condition of the field. New records were set in all track events except .onew-the half mile. R. Guilinger set a new record in the 440 which will stand for several years to come. The Freshman relay also set a new record which will be very hard to approach. This relay team consisted of the following boys: McLaughlin, Everett, Hancock, and Snodgrass. Kirkwood placed sixth in a field of l8 at the Military Track Meet. The team collected 65 points to place sixth at Galesburg Sat. May 4. Guilinger placed End in the 440 yd. Dash, Gunter was fourth in the 220, and Mink placed 5rd in the high jump and fourth in the Javelin. This was very good considering the stiff competition. Raymond Guilinger and Bill Allen represented Kirkwood at the District Meet held at Rock Island, on May ll. Both failed to place, although Guilinger was sixth in the 440. The 52nd Annual Bi-County Track Meet was held May 14 at Media. The schools placed in. the following order: Roseville first, Media second, Kirkwood third, .Alexis fourth, Stronghurst fifth, and Biggsville sixth. This is one of the outstanding meets of the year, and probably one of the fastest because it winds up the season for most of the schools. Guilinger won first in the 440 to receive the only gold medal for Kirkwood. Gunter collected two second place metals, while Mink and Horney received one apiece. Allen won a third, while Mink and Wright each won a fourth.
