PERRY-LECOMPTON INVITA- TIONAL Running in a predominantly 4A meet, the team finished third behind Perry- Lecompton and Santa Fe Trail in the nine team meet. I feel this meet helped the coaching staff evaluate our strengths and weaknesses and helped determine what we need to do to get ready for League, Regional, and State, said Coach Darting. Some of the individual medalists at this meet were BOBBY PFANNEN- STIEL junior, CLINT WICHMAN sen- iorg BRUCE FERGUSON senior, DERON JOHNSON junior, JIM HUR- TIG sophomore, and SHANON SAIA senior. LEAGUE I was very pleased with the team effort. We hadn't beaten Santa Fe Trail all year and were underdogs coming into the meet. I feel that ev- eryone was ready for the day and as a result, we were able to pull off a major upset, said DARTING. Having a few disappointments and many surprises the team won the Mid-East League Championship for the second year in a row. Individual league champs were BOBBY PFAN- NENSTIEL junior in the 100 and BRUCE FERGUSON senior in the 880. Lake scored 113 points above the second place with 106. STATE MEET I think this was one of the poorest qualifying days that we have ever had at the State meet. Overall, I was disappointed because we didn't per- form to our maximum potential and would have placed if we would have done so. All of the individuals who qualified for the State had a great year, said DARTING. The mile relay team qualified with the time of 3:32.97 seconds but had to be scratched from finals because of State Baseball. CLIFF LEIKER sen- ior did win the shot with a throw of 48'5 and became the first State Champion since 1978. , Place I ' 7' e ei', - 'gf',is.i,'fi 55? ,.'. 4th, A .

Relay teams break three meet records and two school records SILVER LAKE TRIANGULAR This was an important meet for the team because they were running against Santa Fe Trail, a league pow- er. Coming off a bad performance in their first meet and cold tempera- tures, the team had a great effort from everyone, said Coach Darting. As a team, Lake finished second to Santa Fe Trail, with a total of 63 points. Some of the individual win- ners were CLIFF LEIKER senior in the shot put, BOBBY PFANNEN- STIEL junior in the 1005 JIM HURTIG sophomore in the mile, BRUCE FER- GUSON senior in the 8803 and CLINT WICHMAN senior in the pole vault. EMPORIA STATE RELAYS This is always an enjoyable event for the team because everything is a relay. The field events are even re- lays: the individuals add their bests together, said DARTING. Many of the team members decid- ed to take advantage of a nice day and broke several meet and school records. Some of the records broken were the 440 relay with the time of 45:37, the Distance Medley relay re- cord with the time of 1l:29.47, the Sprint Medley relay record with the time of 3:47.72, and the 880 relay record with the time of 1:35.9O.
