Several of the Falcons who were on the Region Two track and field championship team and competed in the state meet last Saturday, now change uniforms and take to the baseball diamond. The Scheduling On Tract: EJeet! VJho Did MONDAY MEANT the opening of the 1977 State 4A know who was in charge of the scheduling or. if who, anyone, is to blame for the somewhat strange scheduling of running events in the recently completed, state track and field meets. WHOEVER IT was it cost Clearfields Jackie Beene a shot at the 220 title and it cost Provo High boys a shot at I dont the state title. On Friday, Jackie was scheduled in the 100, 200 and the 44a In dual meets there was no problem as the events were apart, but in the morning trials, the events were, almost right after each other. , THE TRIALS for the 440 were held about ten minutes before the trials of the 220. Jackie had just finished the heat for the 440 when she was called to the start of the 22a Needless to say she was tired from the 440 and didnt ' ; qualify in the 220. Then came the strange thing, after the trials of the 220. there was a break of about two hours before the next; race. Why couldnt the officials put a half-horest between the 440 and the 220 trials? THE SAME was almost true of Provos Alan Kirkwood.' He, too, had to run in the trials of the 440 then report right away to the start of the 220. And again after the 220 there was a tremendous break until the next race. True some coaches say that a coach should realize these things when they enter their runners in the events. But high school athletics are a time to compete, let the athlete run as many as he can and try to work out the schedule. IT WOULD have been very easy, and a lot better for the athletes and the fans, to have had a break inbetween some of the running trials rather than one big break after running all the trials as fast as possible. Davis High Yractiotiecs Are Surprise By DAVE WIGHAM Davis High boys probably surprised everyone this season with their strong showing at dual and the. region track and field meets. Well the Darts continued to surprise people as they walked away with fourth place honors in the 3A state meet. AT THE beginning of the track season very few, if any, of the track and field experts would have given the Darts a chance at even finishing in the top four at the region meet, let alone the top four in the state meet. A couple of youngsters, Wayne Pinto and Mark Davenport, have become household names to Region Five and 3A state coaches and these two have been almost an automatic twenty team points in every meet they enter. THE REAL surprising thing about these two atnletes is their age. Pinto is only a freshman while Davenport is the old man of the two, being a sophomore. : Pinto literally ran away jfrom the rest of the field at the state meet to capture the mile title in a time of 4:39.37, second place was about ten seconds behind Wayne at the finish line. t DAVENPORT jumped away from the rest of the field in the high with a leap of 6-- jump.

T63 TilOEl For the second time in as many years the Davis High girls walked off with top honors in the 3A state track and field title. IN THE javelin the Darts saw JoAnn Jeppson win the title, and Linn Pearson and Lisa Robison place fourth and fifth. Kaylene Johnson placed MANY observers felt that the Dart girls had been hit hard by graduation, and they were, but the Kaysville school still had enough power left to remain champions in their class. Especially productive for the Darts was the field events in which they piled up the majority of their points. The Davis team finished with 77 points which was well ahead but sometimes the season catches up to an athlete, he out a great track career at Clearfield Other Clearfield performers were Rod Neville, who was on the winning relay of team and also placed sixth in the long jump with a 21-leap. Falcon Ron Peterson finished fourth in the 440, which is his specialty. IN THE state meet the in- dividual champion earns ten team points, second gets eight, third wins six, fourth place four, fifth place two, and sixth place, one. With that scoring system the Darts picked up 16 points RICHESON qualified for dash but he and the his coaches decided to save him. Provo might have taken a lesson from this move, a Provo runner in the 100, 220 440-yar- points. Sharon Hawkins won ten team points and the second place finisher, Judge, who ended with 58. Payson and Uintah placed third and fourth in the meet. 7' second and JoAnn Jeppson placed fifth in the discus to win those points.

THE ONLY other winning effort from the Darts was m the final event of the day, the mile relay. In this race, the lead changed hands about ten times before the Davis team of Kris Weaver, Janice Borski, Annette Hath and Tammy Chase crossed the finish line ahead of the Judge team. for the Other point-getteDavis High squad were Kaylene Corless, who placed second in the high hurdles, Kris Weaver, third in the 440 and Kelly Frost who finished fourth in the dash. THE DAVIS relay team also picked up some points as they finished second to a strong Murray team in this event. The winning Dart mile relay team also set a new state record covering the four laps in 4:27.08.

Amateur Golf By DAVE WIGHAM In track and field it takes a couple of ingredients to win the team title. First of all a team needs to have some top performers to win individual events, but maybe even more important a team needs depth in all events to win. CLEARFIELD and Viewmont have the first ingredient but neither squad had the depth needed to win the 4A girls title held last Friday at Weber State. The Falcon gals ended up in sixth place with 33 points, while the Viking gals were in seventh with 30. Skyline, which had both ingredients, won the title with 62 tallies. BOTH Clearfield and View- mont had individuals crowned as champions with the Falcons sending two of their gals to the winners stand. Jodi DeRouchey and Jackie Beene both won their respective events as did Viewmonts Debbie Halford. Jodi broke her own state record by more than 16 feet in the javelin, Jackie broke the state mark in the 100 with a 11.31 clocking, and Debbie won the shot put by more than three feet. JACKIE ALSO came back to place sixth in the dash, and had she been given CLEARFIELD also saw Shellie Christensen take fourth place in the javelin picking up four team points for the Falcons. Her throw was better than the existing state record which gives some indication of how much the competition has improved. Viewmonts Lisa Quilta placed third in the shot with a toss of 37-- 1 while Chris Whet-to- n placed third in the long jump with a leap of suffered a mild injury when she stumbled in the 8a yard high hurdle event, but she came back to win third in the long jump. THE VIKES Karen Eck-ma- n finished in third place in the discus competition with a throw of lOfrll. Bountiful picked up its lone point on a sixth place finish by Judy Allen in the mile run. Judy tried to double in the 880 but fatigue finally caught up to her as did the cold weather. WOODS CROSS saw its star Janet Williams take home third place honors in the 880. Janet is only a sophomore, so big things are expected from her in the future. In the relay events, Layton High placed sixth in the 44a yard relay, Woods Cross took sixth in the medley and Viewmont placed fifth in the mile relay.

Bob salvaged the metal object, took it home, cleaned it up and discovered that it was a Maytag toy racer, designed like a race car of the 1930s. The serial number and the brand name were still visible. Bob began working to restore the car. He refinished the body and replaced the steering wheel.

The final Davis points came in the medley relay where the Kaysville group placed fifth. FINISHING ahead of Davis . at the meet were champions Cedar City, Dixie and Jordan. All three are hit hard this season by graduation, the Darts are loaded with underclassmen; that could only mean one thing, the Davis High group will be back next year to claim the championship outright. In 1973 through 1975 the Darts claimed the state crown. With youngsters like last month Baseball Championships and the Falcons, by virtue of their second place finish in Region Two, will be on hand for the tournament. In fact the Falcons were the opening round game at 12: 30 against Region Three champ, West.
