This is the second year that the State of Idaho has recognized Wrestling as a major sport and has sanctioned the individual effort of schools participating on an over-all state plan with rules and regulations governed by the State Athletic Association. Marsing Huskies, although a B school, have competed now for 5 years with schools as large as Boise, Borah, Mt. Home and several others, and still have taken their share of honors among this rigid competition. This year Marsing had two boys represent them at the State Wrestling Meet at Caldwell-- David Brown, 120 pound class and Harrison Welty, 162 pound class. David was able to take a fourth place, even though he receiveda shoulder injury in his first match in the tournament, and Harrison pinned in the semi-finals and did not take any honors at the state, although he had excelled in competition all year long as well as making the starting traveling squad in Basket- ball--that competes during the same season as wrestling. Many other Marsing boys proved themselves to be rough competition for their opponents as their team was able to win more than their share of team matches.

Thinciads Take Honors The Marsing Huskies completed their athletic season of 1959-60 in a grand manner, when a small group of boys represented them on the cinder paths during the track season. This small group of boys competed merely for the love of competition, for the major part of them were already competing on the. Championship Baseball Club. The undermanned Huskies were not able to enter nine events in the District, but proudly walked away with third place honors of the eleven schools participating. At this meet ROBERT WALKER broke the existing District Record in the high hurdles in the splendid time of 15.2! Attaining the required lst, 2nd, or 3rd, place positions in the District Meet, the following boys represented Marsing at the Regional Track Meet: LOREN CASE--3rd in the broad jurnpg CEDRIC EELLS--2nd in the half mile raceg ROBERT WALKER--lst in the high hurdles: HARRISON WELTY--2nd inthe high hurdlesp JIM PERCIFIELD--lst in the low hurdles: and the 440 Relay Team composed of CASE, PERCIFIELD, DINES, and WALKER, placed third. Attaining the required first or second place in Regional, both Robert Walker 12nd in high hurdlesl and Jim Percifield 12nd in low hurdles! were able to attend the State Meet. Robert was narrowly edged into second position by the State Record Holder, while Jim Percifield received a well deserved fourth. M.H.S. can be vastly proud of the showing and interest of this splendid Huskie Team.
