Runners Take Your Marks . . Set . .. Probably the best track team in South Eugene history were the words of Coach Don Barnhart to describe the District 5-A-1 champions and second place team in the state meet. Undefeated in dual-meet competition, the Axemen also won the mythical Lane A-1 championship. Included in the string of victories was a long- sought-after triumph over North Eugene 69-62. At the district meet in North Bend on a cold, blustery May day, South compiled an even 100 points to easily out-distance North Eugene, finishing second with 68 points. In the state meet at Corvallis, the Axemen garnered 29 points to tie North Eugene for second place. Al Tuttle won the high jump by setting a state, school, and personal record of 6-GA, Mark Carter placed second in the shot put, Bob Hanes tied for second in the pole vault, Steve Stageberg completed South's scoring with fourth place in the 880. Also qualifying for the state meet were Tom Holmes, Rich Carter, Ray Wicks and Tom Ray. In addition to the high jump, school records were broken in the pole vault by Bob Hanes at MIA, in the 880 by Steve Stageberg in 1:55.1, in the discus and shot put by Mark Carter at 155-8 and 55-7 respectively, and in the javelin by Ray Wicks at 205-SW. Awarded the Dave Gilbert Trophy for excellence in track and field were Mark Carter, Al Tuttle and Steve Stageberg. l26 SCOREBOARD SEHS Bend, Cottage Grove 45, 35 82 1, Lane A-1 Relays 2nd Place Hayward Relays 3rd' Place Springfield 30 101 North Eugene 62 69 Willamette 25 106 Sheldon 42 89 if District Ist Place State 2nd Place
