Show iedmen thinclads enter Snow meet . .... - j i J U.. VJL'P will need them all if we be held May 10 and hosted by Provo High School and the following week will be the state finals. In addition to qualifying on time and distances the top four in each event at the region meet will also qualify for the state meet, Schex-nnyder Schex-nnyder said. "By the time the state meet rolls around we could have a host of qualifiers and we will need them all if we are to defend our state title," he concluded. At the Weber Invitational Jackson, with his second, third and fourth finishes was the only Redman to pick up points. The meet was won by Skyline, the defending state 4A track and field champions. cham-pions. Cedar was in 12th place with 18 points in a field of 27 participating schools. seventh place at the Weber Invitational is expected to meet the distance requirements in the long Jump and a sophomore, Kevin Webb, ran a 2:05 8fl0 at Weber State, just a fraction off the 2:04 qualifying mark. Subsequent meets for the 'Redmen include the BYU Invitational to be held May 5. The Region Six meet will Cedar City High School Track and Field team will be in Ephriam this week to participate in the Snow College Invitational meet, according to Coach Bob Schexnayder. "One of our objectives at this meet will be an attempt to qualify, by time and distance, some of our participants par-ticipants so that they will be eligible for state competition, com-petition, Schexnayder stated. Going into Saturday's competition at Snow, the Redmen have qualified five men for the state meet and at least two others are near the qualifying mark, he said. Brad Jackson, the premier sprinter for Cedar High School, has qualified in the 100, 220 and 440 yard dashes. We are concerned however, about Jackson's atempting to participate in so many events," Schexnayder stated. "The competition from Alan Kirkwood of Provo and Terry Taylor of South makes the task of qualifying and running in three major events an almost unhuman one" Schexnayder said. "We may be looking to limiting Brad to just two events and making a decision as to what direction he will go." An example of the difficulty dif-ficulty of competing in so many events was evidenced in the Weber Invitational last week in which Brad finished second in the 440, third in the 100 and fourth in the 220. "The 220 was the final event for Brad in the day-long activities. In the trials Brad had set a new meet record of 21.9 in the 220 but by the time the finals came around he had simply run out of steam," Schexnayder Schex-nayder stated. Prior to the 220 finals Brad had run two qualifying 100 yard dashes and a final, two qualifying 220's and two qualifying 440's and a final event. Others who have met the time and distance standards for participation in the state 3A meet are: Mike Graf in the High Jump. He cleared 6-2 6-2 at the Dixie Invitational which is the qualifying mark, but has a 6-6 to his credit in a dual meet in Vegas against El Dorado High School. Roger Seegmiller had the best shot put mark of his life in the Weber Invitational with a heave of 50ft. 2 inches. It was only good enough for seventh in the meet, but was the best 3A mark and set him up as the man to beat for state. Mark Jones has a 12 ft. pole vault mark to his credit at the Dixie Invitational and has qualified for state. His 12 ft. mark set a new Cedar High School record.
