T iacJz . . . Quincy High School's two track teams, the B Class Limited, and the A Ciass Unlimited, finished a fine track and field season, and while they failed to place first in their annual county meet, they were successful in breaking previous meet records and setting new marks which provide a hearty challenge to future Plumas County track stars. In their annual meet of the 1942 season, the Plumas-Sierra League Track and Field Meet, played at the county seat, Quincy, the Trojan A charges finished a close second to the Portola champions, and provided some excellent runs in the B class, which also fell to the Portola Tigers. This meet was held Saturday, May 9th, on the newly made track and field grounds of the Plumas County Fair, and was run off under bad weather conditions, which failed to dampen the spirits of the tracksters. Highlights of the meet were the setting of a new county record in the mile run by Murl Chamberlain, the time being 5:11, and the new mark of 18 feet 9K inches in the broad jump by Will Small. Both of these records were in the A Class Unlimited. Both of these boys were seniors and well deserved to set new marks in their last high school track competition. Quincy High athletes placing in the Unlimited division were Coast, Chamberlain, Davis, Geil, Kelley, P. McClung, McDonald, McElroy, Reger, and Small. In the Limited division, Craig, Erickson, M. Hedrick, Herring, Palberg, Petruske, Winters, Wolters, and Zion took places. TOP ROW, lefl to right: Young, Ramelli, Russell, Erickson, Dunn, Cole. Herring; Anderson, Manager.
