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 .
