TRICO LEAGUE TRACK CHAMPIONS, 1955 For the first time in the history of the Trico league or, for that matter, athletics at VVHS, the Beaver 1955 track squad canie home with the league track champion- ship. Better halanee right down the line spelled the margin of victory for By Blauinan's thinclads. XVoodland and Stevenson hoth took four first places, hut the Beavers were able to pick off more seconds, thirds and fourths, racking up l.'314z this way to Stcvenson's 8 points for places other than first. Only one and one-half points separated the two leaders going into the final event, the high jump. Blau- inanis crew trailed ZTV2 to Stevenson's 28 points as the jumpers vied. VVhen the last man had finished, Dick Burns had taken first, Bob Morgan had tied with Ridge- field for second, and Boh Hoefs had tied with Deaf School for fourth place . . . thus NVoodland's first Trico track championship.
