- ,..-any I 4 I! 6 Merold is far out in front as he clears the last hurdle on his way to a first in the high hurdles at the Invitational. The Wheaton Academy Thinclads were a group of young, energetic fellows that lacked experience but have a lot of poten- tial for the coming years. Lack of depth also hurt the team but their new coach, Mr. LeMaire looks forward with anticipation to next year when his boys will have at least a year of experience behind them. Most of the scoring for this year's track team was done by Co-Captain Merold Westphal. Merold not only did an excellent job on the high hurdles, but he won nearly every pole vault event that he entered. Throughout the year he accumulated 61 points which is a very good record. The other fellow that helped the squad a great deal is Dave Sullivan who earned 40 points and his letter. Dave ran on the relay team and also in the dashes. As a freshman he probably has more potential than any track fellow the school has had in a long time. But every boy out for track helped the team as they ran, iumped, and threw. TRACK Up and over goes Westphcil to cop the pole vault for his second victory of the day.
