Left to right are sprinter Alan DeKunder, half-miler Harry Dietzman, quarter-miler Robert McMillan, miler Charles Grant, and half-miler Tom Kennedy. A busy schedule that saw the San Antonio College cindermen taking to the roacl for five meets and competing in three local meets, plus the dazzling running of some promising freshmen speedsters highlighted the spring track schedule. Coach Wilbur Dennis, serving in his first year as head track coach, was greeted by a freshman- dominated squad as practice got underway early in January. Harry Dietzman and Robert McMillan were the squad's only two lettermen. Failure to place consistently in the field events kept the Rangers from taking any first place trophies, but the squad represented itself well in all the meets, usually taking a third or fourth place. The Texas Junior College Athletic Conference meet at Ranger, Texas, on April 28, 29 climaxed the season. Dietzman ran a l:58.2 for first place in the 880, and Charles Grant logged a 4:29.7 in winning the mile run to lead SAC to third place. During the course of the season, Grant, a freshman, set a new school record almost every time he ran the mile as did Dwight Miles, also a freshman, in the TOO-yard dash. Miles took second in both the 100 and 220, McMillan captured fourth in the 440, and Grant and Tom Kennedy took third and fourth in the 880 for individual placings in conference. The relay teams took fifth in the 440 and second in the mile. , , Y . . ...L I , Quarter-milers Eric Poling and Robert McMillan take a Distance men Mario Jaramillo, Arthur Jimenez, and Charles Grant, warm up practice run before competing in a meet.
