TRACK, 1951 After school, it was not surprising to see Woody Overholt and Darrel Anderson running up the road. These two boys were our long distance men and were only trying to get into shape. Carl Anderson, Dick Youkey, Terry Bowman, John Hanauer, Hal Platt, Don Hoopingarner, and Joe Huffman carried our hopes in the field events. Eugene Norris was our top dash man. Terry Bowman, Delos Fisher, Don Hoopingarner, and Joe Huffman were also valuable in the running events. Front Row, left to right!
