But the sun- The first annual Davis District Track and Field Meet, which brought all six Davis County high schools together in competition last Friday and Saturday, was spiced with a state record ineligible for the record books, snow flurries amidst the sunshine and runaway efforts by both the girls and boys in team competition. BESIDES THE team title in the boys division, which he got, the only other thing Clearfield's John Flint wanted was enough excitement in this two-da- y track and field extravaganza to carry on a tradition that would last for years to come. Clearfield captured only five first places of the seventeen available but filled in with some solid team depth to take the title in the boys division with 171 points. Neighboring Davis High was second with 101 points; Bountiful placed third with 95; Viewmont slid in next with 74; Layton took fifth with 45 and rounding out the field of six was Woods Cross : with 27. j A STRONG Davis girls ; 3 3 3 3: 400-met- Bjorn was selected MVP in the girls competition as she took firsts in the 1600, 3200 and runs.

Flint has already captured two region titles with outstanding teams but said to the group Saturday that at least to this point in the season, they could consider themselves the best in Clear- - . field, Carter busted the state record which had lived for seven years. His toss of 59-- 8 broke Skylines Dave Harts record of 59-- 6 set back in 1974. But Carters record breaking performance wont go down in the books since the Davis District Meet isnt sanctioned by the Utah High School Activities Association.

It included hours of hard work, special training and ade-sir- e that couldn't die. HIS BEST throw as a sophomore was 49-- 3 and besides a first place in the Snow Invitational he could do no better than seventh in his own region meet and seventh at the BYU Invitational. Before throwing a shot at Sunset Jr. his ninth grade year, Carter had no idea what a shot put even was. But with some help from his father and Russ Jones, the Sunset coach and now the head mentor at lad- tion went to which he heaved at the state finals last spring at BYU. It was good enough for a second place behind Rich Allen of Orem, now serving a mission for the LDS Church in Australia. Last summer Carter spent a week in Colorado Springs, the site of the Olympic Training Center, after an invitation he and Coach Flint received. He payed his own ticket to receive training from experts. The week also included training from films and video taping of his own throws for analization. PERHAPS HIS biggest competition wont come from the ranks this year, but rather from Kerry Wittingham of Provo High in the rounds.
