Trackmen place Weather conditions proved a hin- drance as the Cougar track team struggled throughout the early sea- son. With the late arrival of spring, however, the team began its surge which showed much overall talent. Following a victory in the Derby In- vitational, the Cougars began their second season - CKL, Regional and State. Although they earned only third place at CKL fone-half point behind secondj, the squad's performances improved consider- ably. Regional was the highlight of the year as the Cougars placed sec- ond behind a deep Garden City squad, while qualifying ten athletes for the State meet at Salina Central. Six team members placed in the State meet. The two-mile relay team of Frank Riley, Steve Thomp- son, Rick Worrel and Jack Mc- Donald captured fourth. McDonald also earned a fourth place finish in the open half mile. Jeff Lagerberg 2nd at Regionals was awarded a medal for his third place finish in the discus competi- tion. The only State championship was won by Matt Stinson in the high jump with a leap of 6-9M which also set a new State 4A record. The Cougars established three new school records and tied one. Jerry Hickel threw the javelin 185-5 and Dennis Vinson heaved the shot put 51-4 to earn school bests. The two-mile relay team which compet- ed at State ran an 8:03.2 in the CKL meet, breaking the old record by ten seconds, and the 440-yard relay team of Doug Folken, Scott Tom- lins, Kevin Doehring and Tim Cline ran a 44.8 to tie the existing record. Graduation should not eliminate the possibility of a fine returning track team. With eight of the ten State qualifiers back, Coach Chuck Culley can look forward to another good season. ,gulf .1 2 .,...4-:A Q E 1.
