MARK SMITH of Curtis smashed the old Invitational record
ar t also placed second in the
put. Smith threw the 180'2" for the record.
Shelton's Highclimber
cindermen showed they are the
Black Hills League's power again
when they demolished Hoquiam's
Grizzlies 97-39 Friday on Loop
Field for their seventh dual meet
win without a loss.
The host Climbers grabbed 12
of 16 first places, took 12 more
seconds and swept three events
completely.
Senior Paul Rogerson and
junior Rob Settle were double
winners for Shelton. Rogerson
won the 100 in 10.7, the 220 in
23.9, and also ran a leg of the
winning 880 relay. Settle
continued to shine in his
specialties, the high hurdles and
high jump. He ran the 120 yards
of the hurdle race in 15.9 and
leaped 6'4½" in the high jump.
Settle holds the junior class
record in the hurdles and is the
school record holder in the high
jump at 6'6".
Rocky Nutt, who was to go
on and have a sensational day at
the Invitational on Saturday,
finished second to Settle in both
the highs and high jump. Nutt, a
senior, also won the low hurdles
in 21.9.
Senior George Lemagie glided
throhgh the quarter mile in 54.5
to win the 440. He also ran a leg
of the victorious mile relay.
Junior Mike Hays had his personal
best time of 4:48.5 in the mile to
win. His team mate, junior Rich
James, finished second to Hays in
the mile but won the longer race,
the two mile. James is the school
record holder in the two mile.
Friday he paced a 10:41.4
clocking.
Jimmy Johnsen went just over
19 feet to win the long jump. The
junior's official distance was
19'½". Gary Burger didn't have to
work hard in the 880 to win. His
qualifying time for the
Invitational a week ago was
2:02.1, and Burger's time in the
race with Hoquiam was 2:08.5. It
was his slowest race since the first
meet of the year.
Now with a perfect 7-0 record
for the season, the Highclimbers
will try to clinch the Black Hills
League championship this Friday
in Tumwater when they take on
Bill Yandle and company in
Tumwater. Yandle was one of the
best 100, 220 and broad jump
men in the Invitational Saturday.
The coach of this undefeated
cinder team is Bill Brickert. His
assistant is Walt Clayton.

Six records were broken and
two more tied in Shelton's
Invitational Saturday as several
outstanding athletes completely
rewrote the history books of the
meet. Shelton's own Highclimbers
had one of their finest days and
finished in sixth place with 24½
points.
Lincoln of Tacoma was the
winner of the meet. The Abes ran
away with the point title,
amassing 102 points to their
nearest rival's 45. Five firsts and
four more seconds accounted for
82 of the winners' points. Wilson
of Tacoma was the second place
finisher and Mt. Rainier and Port
Angeles tied for third with 32
points each.
If an "outstanding athlete"
award might have been elected
after the meet, any one of the
record breakers could have been
that matt.
Jerry Belur of Renton was
amazing in the hurdles. He holds
the country's best prep time of
19.0 in the 180 lows. Belur set
two records in preliminary heats
on Saturday afternoon, and
capped the day off with victories
in both hurdle races that night.
He won his heat of the high
hurdles on the hot afternoon with
a 14.7 second clocking. That
broke the one-year old mark of
14.8 set by Tyee's Ken Miller. In
the finals, Belur ran a 14.8 to win.
Belur's 20.0 time in the low
hurdle prelims set the other
record that also was only a year
old. Saturday night he ran the
distance in 20.3 seconds.
Wilson Morris of Wilson
looked like he was floating or
gliding as he set a new meet
record in the 220. After he ran
away from the field in the prelims
in both the 100 and 220, Morris
smashed the meets oldest record
in the 220 by four tenths of a
second Saturday night. His time
was 21.8. In both the prelims and
finals, he tied the 100 record of
10.0 seconds. Morris joined three
other sprinters who have a ten fiat
clocking in the meet's history. He
also had a part in still another
record. Morris ran a 220-yard leg
of Wilson's winning 880 relay
team that tied the meet's best of
1:31.9.
Mark Smith, Curtis' only man
in the meet, made all of his team's
18 points that enabled Curtis to
tie for ninth. After throwing the
discus 185 feet in practice (the
record was 167'9"), Smith had an
official throw of 180'2" that
broke the record by over 12 feet.
The one man team also took
second in the shot put with a
heave of 54'II". The crowd
marveled at how Smith's low
throws were going 20 feet father
than his nearest opponents'.
If Smith, Morris and Belur
were amazing, then Lincoln's Joel
Braggs was both amazing and
entertaining. The tall Abe had
everyone outclassed in the high
jump. The crowd chuckled when
he passed until 6'0" and didn't
take off his sweats until 6'6",
Next he cleared 6'8" (he. was all
alone after 6'4"), rolled over
6'10" and just missed 7'0".
Braggs had been co-holder of
the record at 6'6" when he took
second on misses last year. This
season he came back and left no
doubt who was best and grabbed
the record all to himself at 6'I0".
The fans that crowded around the
pits loved it when he cleared 6'2"
by what looked like a foot, and
again when he barely kicked the
bar on the way down after
clearing 7'0". Braggs saved the
state's best jump of the season for
the Shelton Invitational.

LEAPING 22 FEET, six inches on the broad jump, North Thurston's Devin
Brown won that event and also took second in the triple jump~and third in
the pole vault.
The relatively new triple jump
has a new record distance every
year. This time it was Jeff Hill of
Washington that smashed the old
mark by 11 inches. He hopped,
stepped and jumped 44'11".
Shelton's Highclimbers had
their best score in recent years.
Fine individual performances by
Rocky Nutt, Rob Settle, George
Lemagie and Chris Elmlund, Paul
Rogerson, Tracy Armstrong and
Lemagie in'the mile relay enabled
the Climbers to top 22 other
schools, including every school in
the Black Hills League.
Rocky Nutt qualified for the
final heat of the low hurdles by
winning his preliminary heat in a
school record time of 21.0. In the
finals, he finished fourth behind
Belur, and broke his four hour old
school record with a 20.9
clocking. He was six tenths of a
second behind Belur. Nutt not
finish in a tie for sixth.
S~veral Black Hills League
members did well in the meet.
Devin Brown, North Thurston's
jumper who has been to the
nationals in the Jaycee summer
program, was first in the long
jump, second in the triple jump
and third in the pole vault. He
earned all but one half of a point
of his team's score. Centralia's
Toby Robillard was first in the
shot with a heave of 56'½" and he
finished sixth in the discus.
Tumwater's Bill Yandle was third
in the 220 and tied for sixth in
the 100. Mike Filyaw of Hoquiam
was second in the discus and third
in the shot.
Winners not already
mentioned were Tony Harvey of
Lincoln in the 440 at 51.3; Steve
Phillips of Port Angeles in the 880
with a fine time of 1:57.8; Dave
Richard of Mt. Tahoma in the
only achieved his lifetime best in - mile with a 4:27.8 clocking; Leon
the hurdles, but also the high Bombardier of Liricoin with a
jump. He cleared 6'2" with his
flop style and nabbed fourth. The
partisan Shelton fans cheered as
Rocky went 5'10", then 6'0" and
then 6'2".
Rob Settle got the highest
individual place for the
Highclimbers when he placed
second to Braggs in the high
jump. Settle, who jumped 6'4",
beat Mike Van Tongeren of Mark
Morris on misses. The junior holds
Shelton's school record of 6'6".
He failed to qualify for finals in
the high hurdles prelims.
Rogerson, Elmlund,
Armstrong and Lemagie teamed
up to give Shelton second in the
mile relay with a new school
record time of 3:32.2. They won
their heat and finished two
seconds behind the winner of the
first heat, Lincoln.
Lemagie had the fastest time
of the 440 qualifiers in the meet,
since Eric Iverson of Clover Park
";dn't show. He ran a 52.5 to
9:42.7 in the grueling two mile;
and Lincoln's Mike Hilderbrand in
thJe pole vault at 14'3".
Records were expected to fall
at this meeting of the superhuman
bodies. Athletes seem to improve
and the Invitational's records get
better every year. Of the 16
events, the records in 13 of them
have been set or tied in the past
three years of the meet's 11 year
existence.

this week to run their overall
season record to 12-1.

for the league's top spot in tennis
with a 6-1 league record. The loss
