Track Uan Vlac6, 3ran3en, Mast 5op Cindermen Although the Bobcats failed to defend their Sunset Conference crown, the MP cindermen had several outstanding individual efforts. John Franzen, MP’s unpresidented hurdler, turned in top clockings of 15.0 and 20.6 in the low and high hurdles at the district meet. Franzen’s stint in the lows set a new school record while his clocking in the highs tied the standing record. Sprinter Bob Van Vlack turned in his finest effort of the season to wrap up the 440 title in the district meet with a time of 53.2. Reed Gurney also qualified for the state meet as he was runner-up to John Franzen in both the high and low hurdles. Although Gurney captured first place in the pole vault early in the season at the Hayward Relays, he failed to place in district competition. Distance ace, Don Mast, toured the two mile event in 10: 10.3 to earn himself a spot in the state meet. Mast erased the school record in his event with a timing of 9:59.8 earlier in the season. In the state competition he finished eighth. Vic Murray and Keith Hill finished fourth and fifth respectively in the two mile race. Bill Neal and Lloyd Grant anchored the ’Cats weight field. Grant finished second in the shot put, while Neal captured third place in the javelin and discus. Neal’s toss of 175’ !4” in the javelin shattered the old school record of 168’ 2” set the previous year! MP’s 880 relay team composed of Terry Pullen, John Franzen, Lloyd Grant and Reed Gurney, finished second in district competition with a clocking of 1:35.3. CROSS COUNTRY.
