They set 10 new school records and finished no lower than 4th in any meet other than the district. Hawk finishes were a 3rd place finish in a 7 team invitational at Nevada, 2nd place in 6 team invita- tional at Nevada, 3rd place in Eagle Relays, 4th place at Grundy Relays, 3rd place finish in Confer- ence Meet, 3rd place in Wildcats Relay and Dual meet victories over Northeast Hamilton 74-35 and Story City 86-56. ' Randy Johnson was the Hawks leading point getter of the season and set two individual school records. His long jump of 20' 81f2 at the Wildcat Relays added more than a 1 112 ft. to the mark. He also set the 220 yd: Dash mark of 24.0. Darrell Anderson established a new mark of 4:46.0 in the mile run. Randy Fardel set a new school mark in the 2 mile run with a time of 10:27.7 taking -more than 32 seconds oi the' old mark: , y Rick Olson lowered the 880 yd. run mark 3 times with his best time of 2:O4.5 being 4 seconds better than the old mark.

CINDER DUST MEMORIES - 1969 Competitors--that one word pretty well sums up the 1969 Hawk- ette track team and they earned it through a lot of hard work. The Hawkettes manufactured their finest season since 1966 as they won every meet on their regular season schedule. They started-.out by easily winning duals over Gilbert andWest Marshall. Then they topped a 19-team Queens Relays field at Zear- ing, scoring 87 points and cashed in their talent to annex their sec- ond straight Heart-of-lowa Conference Relays by gliding to a 138 point total. After that, the Hawkettes dominated the 13-team Rockette Relays meet at Churdan with 75 counters and regained their Hawk- ette Relays Crown by scoring 87 1X2 points. In their final regular season meet, the Hawkettes swept to their seventh consecutive Dis- trict Meet crown with 59 points in the 30-team diadem. As a result of their efforts in the District, 14 girls qualified for the State Meet in seven events. Six new school records went into the books this spring and the Hawkettes now have one of the finest set of standards in central Iowa. Ten of the marks would have placed in this year's State Meet and five of them would have been winning performances. New records came when sophomore Deb Nelson unleashed a 33' 8 effort in the shot put, junior Ruth Hill scampered over the 220-yard timbers in :33.3, Deb Lutjen, another junior, toured the 880-yard run in2:43.4 and the mile relay composed of Deb Larson, a senior, Carol John- son, a junior, and freshmen Becky Greenfield and Deb Andrews, stopped the watches in 4:23.8.Cindy Jacobson snapped the 220-yard dash record with a :28.0 clocking and Carol Johnson set a new stand- ard in the 440-yard run-- :67.7. Many fine performers will be among next year's hopefuls with 20 of 25 letter winners returning. However, any analysis of this year 's team would be incomplete without mentioning the seniors: Deb Larson, Neva Anderson, Chris Ehlert, Sue Teig and Deb John- son. Miss Larson and Miss Anderson were the co-captains and did an outstanding job in leading a relatively young team. It is my hope that our senior's examples of leadership and desire will challenge next year's team to another great season. 150 Co-Captains Deb Larson and Neva Anderson Coa c hes Ass't Coach, Miss Peg Peterseng.
