He was also a top running- back, which included an 83-yard touchdown as a senior. “When I finally beat Tooey Emery for the first time during one of our practices, it changed everything for me,” Conley said. “I felt I could do anything and ran with that kind of confidence. It wasn’t until many years later that I found out I had gotten away with the worst false start ever. “But... oh well.” Toni (Winther) Stonelake, who graduated in 1965 with Conley, was credited with being the inspiration for creating Siuslaw’s first girls track and field team under Hall-of-Fame coach Liz McCain. Stonelake’s daughter, Kelly Sorensen, who was inducted in 2001, was on hand for the cere- mony on behalf of her mother, who Sorensen described as being “an amazing woman her whole life who has always been, and continues to be, a true inspira- tion.” Stonelake ran the 100-yard, 220-yard and a leg on the 440- yard relay at state during the team’s first year, and also com- peted in the long jump. As a jun- ior, she returned to state in sever- al events in 1965. “I am extremely proud of what my mother contributed to the women’s track and field pro- gram,” said Sorensen, who read a letter sent by her mother. “‘When we started, we didn’t Buying or Selling?

I am proud to be a part of it.” Other individual inductees included: 1967 graduate Dick Pickett, who was a four-year wrestler at Siuslaw who went on to claim the state title at 141 pounds his senior year, giving up only one point — during the bout for the state title — throughout the whole tournament. Wayne Jackson (1974), who had a .400 batting average as a freshman and also lettered three years while on the golf team. On the gridiron, Jackson was named All-State as a runningback and finished his career with 2,335 “all-purpose” yards — including 266 yards and six touchdowns in his final game. Danielle Wilson (1987), a three-sport athlete who lettered four times in track and three times in both volleyball and bas- ketball. Wilson had two second- place finishes in the discus at state, and placed fifth in the shot put. Brent Sanford (1993), who still holds the No. 1 spot on Siuslaw’s All-Time list for most rushing yards in a single game with 315 against Gold Beach in 1990. He is also No. 2 for career yardage with 3,032 in just three years, and No. 4 on the All-Time list for career scoring with 222 points. Doug Kelley (1993), a golfer who shot a 152 his junior year to finish fifth at state, then tied for second at district his senior year. Advancing to state, he shot back- to-back 72s to tie for first place individually and lead the Vikings to their first state championship. The ceremony also inducted the 1996 boys cross country team, coached by Johnson in his first-year heading up the pro- gram. Though the team didn’t have a single runner place in the top 10 at the state meet, the Vikings were able to beat out St. Helens and Phoenix for Siuslaw’s first state title since 1966. The 1997 boys track and field team, coached by Gary Giddens, was also inducted for its achieve- ments that year, including its fourth district title and qualifying for 13 events at state, where it was co-state champions with La Salle after tying with 52 points. “It wasn’t me knowing that they would be state champions,” Giddens said Saturday night. “It was that they knew they would be state champions. I saw that during the very first practice that year. “They came in, went to work and never looked back.” Thanks to Siuslaw’s Hall of Fame, Viking fans and past ath- letes get to take a look back and celebrate the school’s rich athlet- ic history together.
