by Crazy Spring Weather, Have Mediocre Year Four Dukes qualihed for the state Class B Track meet in Lincoln, May TO-ll. The four-Ted Wright, Roger Svatos, Dave Lott and Larry Penney-earned this right to represent York at The state showdown by placing Third or better in the district qualifying meet at Crete. ln that meet York placed a respectable fourth, as Lott won the discus and Wright the 220. Penney grabbed second in the discus and Svatos third in the 880. Duke harriers, defending conference champs, did not fare so well in This year's Central-TO outing at Schuyler. Coach George Bostwick's proteges fell to sixth on The conference rung in that meet. What the i957 Track men lacked in accomplish- ments they made up for in determination, spirit and sportsmanship.
