Show Weekly news journal, may reflex-dav- is 12. 1977 Falcons Dominate Region Track Championships beat the old record set back in By DAVE WIGHAM Going into Fridays Region Two boys track and field championships, everyone involved felt that the Clearfield team would run away and hide from the rest of the field. Girls: Have More Sports Enthusiasm FOR ONCE the experts were right, the Falcons completely dominated the event. The Falcons won individual titles in six events By DAVE WIGHAM After attending both the girls and boys Region Two track and field championships, one thing stands out above all others. with Robbie Richeson being the big winner of the day. The swift senior won both the 100 and the 200, placed second in the 440 and was a member of a winning Falcon relay team. Opposing coaches d will be glad to see this senior graduate to give someone else a chance to win in the sprints. Robbie has dominated for three years, winning the region crown two years. THE GIRLS have a lot more enthusiasm about athletics than the boys do. At the girls meet each winner, both in the trials and the finals, were mobbed by her teammates after the race. The winners of the boys races were excited but they werent met at the tape by mobbing teammates. fleet-foote- IT WASNT just their own team members either, time after time, the winner was mobbed and hugged by girls from other schools. There was a friendship there often missing in the male athletic circle. These girls take their athletics seriously, as serious as any male counterpart. They train hard and compete at OTHER FALCON winners were their best. IN YEARS past, girl athletics have had the reputation passive, the excuse me type of image, but the girls competition now is just as keen and competitive as the boys. The style or brand of competition has improved immensely in the girls program. Probably the biggest reason being the amount of qualified coaches, in some schools a male has taken over the reigns. program has been the attitude toward the female athlete. In past years the only girls that would participate in the sports field were the so called tom boys. But after seeing all competitors at the track meet, believe me they were all girls, good looking girls. DEDICATION has been a word that has been used only with the male athletes, but as last Friday and Thursday indicate, the word can also be used in describing the female athletes. Almost every region record in track and field fell last Thursday at the girls meet, also some state marks were bettered. Yes, indeed, the females are taking their athletics very seriously, and they are very worthwhile both from the athletes and the spectators viewpoint. by the Utah Bowmans Association.

By DAVE WIGHAM At the beginning of the track season, the Davis High coaching staff indicated that they had a young team and what those depending youngsters could do, the Darts were in a rebuilding on year.

Mark Davenport and Wayne of a Pinto, couple sophomores, placed first in their respective events. Mark won top honors in the high while jump with a leap of Wayne was winning the mile with a clocking of 4: 38.0. 6-- THE FIELD events were especially pleasant for the Darts as they piled up the majority of their points in these events. Davis received second place Everyone lives for the big points in the pole vault from Lee Stanquist, a third and fourth place finish in the shot put from Steve Malnar and John Borski. Bruce Brand placed fourth in the pole vault and Silvester Gray placed second in the long jump. IN THE running events the Darts got top performances from Borski and Dave Lewis, who placed third and fourth in the high hurdles, Lewis also finished second in the 440. Dave Drysdale and Ron, Adams added more points in the field events with third and fourth places in the high jump. Borski took fourth place honors in the discus, Mark Whittaker was fourth in the two mile, Todd Webster fourth in the intermediate hurdles and the Dart medley relay team finished second. WITH TEAMS like Jordan and Cedar in the 3A state meet it's unlikely the Darts will battle for team honors, but Davenport has an excellent chance to win the high o Charles Waller and Clint Douglas, second and third, and sprinter Tony Riney, second in both the 100 and 200 yard dashes. The top four qualifiers now go on to compete in the state meet. Richeson has the best shot of anyone at a state title, but Pearce of Viewmont, Peterson of Clearfield, Neville of Clearfield, Pope of Viewmont all have good shots at placing high in the state meet to be conducted this Saturday at Weber State. former great Paul Waite, now head football coach at Bountiful High. moments in their lives, IT WAS no surprise to Rod moments like marriage, he was drafted into the that , week-two graduations.
