TRACK I954 The 1954 edition of the New Rockford High School thinclads which was built around four lettermen, Royce Frazer, Harry Anderson, John Juel, and Bob Ericson enjoyed a very good track season. Under Coach Arntzen's direction the squad competed in five meets. The biggest surprise of the season was when the Rockets captured the CNDC track crown for the first time in thirteen years. Paced by Royce Frazer and good teamwork the Rockets compiled a total of thirty-five points to twenty-eight and one-half for runner-up Rugby. The half-mile relay team of Royce Frazer, Harry Anderson, John Juel, and Bob Ericson retained their CNDC title as they won that event for the second straight year. In the District Meet the relay team captured the half-mile relay title and in doing so set a new record. This was the second year that the team has been running together. Royce Frazer provided the spark for this year's squad as he continually placed in every meet that the team entered. Those who will not be returning next year include Royce Frazer, 3 year letterman, Bob Ericson, 2 year lettermang and John Juel, 2 year letterman.
