Show WEEKLY REFLEX-DAV- NEWS JOURNAL. MAY 19. 1977 IS mw To Scheduling On Track Meet By DAVE WIGHAM MEANT MONDAY the opening of the 1977 State 4A dont know who was in charge of the scheduling or, who, if anyone, is to blame for the somewhat stranga scheduling of running events m the recently completed state track and field meets. WHOEVER IT was it cost Clearfield's Jackie Beene a shot at the 220 title and it cost Provo High boys a shot at the state title. On Friday, Jackie was scheduled in the 100, 200 and the 440. 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. I 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. The Falcons finished the league play with a 3 mark, one of those wins was over the Ogden team that won the region crown. It was the only blemish on the Tiger 1 7-- 3A state ' 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 from 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. DAVENPORT jumped Sway from the rest of the field in the high with a leap of 6-- 6 jump. Second place finisher could only manage to go M3rk has gone higher this year but cold, windy weather conditions prevented him from higher heights.

Nine more team points were picked up in the discus with Russell Purdy finishing third, John Wood fifth and Borski sixth. The pole vault was also good for the Darts as they picked up more team points with a third place finish from Bruce Brand and a fourth place spot by Lee Stenquist. OTHER DART point-getter- s were Dean Jensen, sixth in the 330 hurdles, Dave Hilton fifth in the 880 yard dash and Dave Drysdale who leaped six feet to tie for third m the high jump. 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 Pinto and Davenport they would like to claim that supremacy again. Layton Although none of the schools could seriously challenge the depth and strength of Skyline High, the Davis County high schools had some top performers from individuals at the State 4A Track and Field championships. team title. The best finish of the local schools was the sixth place finish of Clearfield with 30 points. Layton took ninth place with 24 counters while Viewmont was back in the pack with 11. NO ONE was surprised by the Falcons strong performance which was led by senior Robbie Richeson. Robbie placed second in the 100, third in the 220 and ran an important leg in the winning 440 relay team. In talking to Robbie before one of his races, it was easy to tell he was one tired young man. This senior had led Clearfield to the Region Two title and a second place finish in Region Two baseball. He mentioned that track was fun but sometimes the season catches up to an athlete, he was starting to feel that way. HE FINISHED Mr. and Mrs.' Diamond Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Weidower of Lay-to- n and Dr, and Mrs. Carl Brockbank of Salt Lake City all spent Thursday in Midway, Utah attending the funeral services of Mrs. Teressa Coleman. Mrs. Coleman is the sister of Mrs. Diamond Adams. Another of Mrs. Adams' sisters died only last month out a great track career at Clearfield with his performance last Sa- turday. It was only justice and fitting that he won a title in the relay event. Other Clearfield performers were Rod Neville, who was on the winning relay team and also placed sixth in the long jump with a 21-- y2 leap. Falcon Ron Peterson finished fourth in the 440, which is his specialty. 7 RICHESON qualified for dash but he and the his coaches decided to save him.

Add to this the five points they won in the high jump and the total is 31 points from just three field events. By DAVE WIGHAM 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 second and JoAnn Jeppson placed fifth in the discus to win those points. High jumpers Jamie Borski and Debbie Major placed fourth and sixth to earn those team 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 of second place finisher, Judge, who ended with 58. Payson and Uintah placed third and fourth in the meet. IN THE state meet the points.

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. s for the Other Davis 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.

Skyline, which had both ingredients, won the title with 62 tallies. Clearfield and Viewmont 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 BOTH feet.

And again after the 22C 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.
