Gary Berg TRACK 1963 After five straight championships in track it was thought that the boys had done their part but not true with the 1962-63 track and field squad. They were determined to not only maintain the tradition of the squads before them but set their goals even higher. Led by some outstanding boys including Capt. jerry Meister, Don Harvey, Ed Kollis, Bob Wilson, Roger Durnford, and othersg this squad made it seven consecutive Badger Conference titles and went on to place fifth in the State in the strong Class A field. We saw our first individual state champion crowned on our own track which hosted all three state meets and attracted some 6000 spectators. Bob Wilson achieved the honor mentioned above in the broadjump with a leap of 22' 5 112 . During the summer months our boys continued to do Monona Grove proud by not only qualifying at State Junior Champs but going on to the National Meet in St. Paul and walking away with five gold medals along with three silver ones. Don Woosley, champion in the 440 plus anchoring our winning relay team, was selected to receive the first annual Bob Richards trophy as the outstanding performer in the national meet. Other boys placing in the National were Jeff Swanson, 2nd in the 2203 Pete Snider, 2nd in the polevaultg Wayne Fiedler, 2nd in the broadjumpg and Bob Brill who teamed up with Woosley, Fiedler, and Swanson on the winning relay team.
