Ashland Head Track Coach
Girls Take Two Firsts;
Set New School Record
A new school record for the
girls' high jump was set at the
Grants Pass Jaycees' Relay Races
April 3. Pam Hoffbuhr, a
sophomore, jumped 4-11, the
individual best of the day. The
old school record was 4-7. Miss
Hoffbuhr's record jump bettered
the 1970 District record by an
inch. Miss Hoffbuhr also tallied
the best long jump of the day
(15-11).
The girl's track team was tied
for first place at the end of six
events. They had to scratch in
the mile and "because of the
lack of depth in the team, the
girls were already pooped out
and didn't have it for the last
relays."
Despite the lack of depth, the
girls brought home two firsts.
Sharon Hill, a freshman, ran the
100-yard dash in 12.1 which tied
the 1970 best set by Stephanie
Sceva. The javelin squad totaled
242 feet V4 inch to beat Medford
for first place in that event.
Javelin participants were Sandy
Frishman, Delayn Jeska, Vicki
Kirsher and Charity Wood.
Ashland also captured two
second places. The three-man
high jump team competing
against four-men squads, came in
second behind Medford. High
jump contestants were Pam
Hoffbuhr (4-1 1); Kathy McClure
(4-6); and Betsy Hester (4-4).
The girls also beat out Klamath
for a second in the 100-meter
hurdle relay. Members of the
hurdle relay team were Pam
Hoffbuhr, Julie Schwab, Jan
Sours, and Charity Wood. All
but Jan Sours had never hurdled
in competition before.
Ashland's two-mile relay
team came in third behind
Medford and Crater. Two-mile
relay team members were Elaine
Fisher, Brenda Gertsen, Betsy
Hester and Doreen Holmes.
The girls' track team placed
fourth in four events. The fourth

place 440-yard relay team was
composed of Carol Christlieb,
Judy Hicks, Sharon Hill and Jan
Sours. Members of the fourth
place mile relay team were Patty
Brown, Elaine Fisher, Judy
Hicks and Cindy Troutman.
The long jumpers brought
home a fourth despite the fact
that they had to compete one
man short. Long jumpers were
Carol Christlieb, Sharon Hill and
Pam Hoffbuhr. Miss Hoffbuhr's
jump of 15-11 gave her the
individual best of the day in that
event.
The 880-yard pursuit relay
also placed fourth. The members
of pursuit relay were Annette
Bartley, Judy Hicks, Trudy
Hicks, and Pam Hoffbuhr. Team
scores at the end of the races
were Crater, 55 points; Grants
Pass, 52 points; and Medford, 39
points. Ashland placed fourth
with 33 points. With 28 points,
Roseburg and Klamath iwth 1 1
points, brought up the rear.
"Grants Pass had the sprinters
and Medford is strong in the
distances. Medford is also strong
in the long jump and the high
jump," Coach Kimball
commented after the race.
"We have a young
inexperienced team with little
depth. We should set new school
records in the 440-yard dash and
the mile run this year, though.
The team as a whole should get
stronger as the season
progresses," Coach Kimball
explained.
She noted that new comers
Carol Christlieb and Sharon Hill
looked good in sprints. Trudy
Hicks, Diana Olson, Linda
Sanders, and Jan Sours will also
see action as sprinters.
Julie Davies should do well in
the hurdles. "We are expecting a
lot out of her as she went to
State in the hurdles last year,"
Miss Kimball commented.

Ash Zand's First Champ
Senior 130-pound Frank Goodlett brought home first place
honors from the State Wrestling Tournament held in Corvallis.
This is the first time in the history of Ashland High that anyone
has ever placed first in the state tournament. The highest previous
finish was by Tim Fisher, who took a third at the 1 36-pound level in
1969.
Goodlett didn't only win the title, but only allowed one point to
be scored against him during the two day competition.
He seemed to be much more aggressive than he was in the District
Meet two weeks before and his coaches believe this was a vital factor
in his success.
The only point Goodlett gave up came in the championship
match against Dave Johnson of Silverton and he was way ahead at
the time. Goodlett beat Johnson 6-1, for the championship but
Coach Richards felt that Frank wrestled better in earlier matches.
Goodlett's performance in the last match wasn't as impressive as
some of his others. Hejjfisn't pushed though. He was on top right
from the begiQig"3ncl had everything under control.
COach Tim Brown felt that the things that set Goodlett apart
from other high school wrestlers, is that he's strong and flexible.
''Flexibility is one of the most important assets of a good wrestler
and Frank can turn into a pretzel," Brown said.
Ashland's team total of 31 points and its seventh place finish
were also school records. In 1969 Ashland tallied eight points, the
highest output until this year.
Oregon State wrestling coach Dale Thomas told Richards that
Goodlett was the best wrestler in the tournament.
Goodlett came a long way since 1967 when he began wrestling as
an eighth grader at Ashland Junior High. Last year he was 27-5 and
came in third in the District Meet and completed this season with an
unblemished 36-0 record.

was the top hitter in Jhe inning,
getting a double, triple, and 2
RBIs.
Steve Davis pitched the
second game for the Bears, and
according to Ashland Head
Coach Arlan Foote did a good
job until the defense made six
errors and allowed four
unearned runs to cross the plate.
Roseburg scored their two
earned runs on singles by Norm
Hardy and Tom Hindman and a
double by Jim Davidson.
The Grizzlies scored their two
runs when a Roseburg defender
dropped a fly ball hit by Tim
Slapnicka and allowed Lewis and
Kim Rickert to score.
Lewis and Fagan got the only
hits for Ashland. Fagan singled
twice and Lewis once.
Coach Foote said of the
games, "We should have won the
second game but made too many
errors, and in the first game they
hit just when they needed to.
However, 1 think that this year's
team is better than last year's,
and we should win our share."
