The evening was a time-trav-
eling experience, with athletes
taking the stage chronologically
and sharing their memories of
Viking athletics through the
decades, as well as offering some
levity in the present.

dash faster than it took me to
walk up these stairs to the stage,”
joked 1965 graduate Les Conley,
who was recognized for his
achievements in track and field.

trict championships in the 100-
yard dash and 180-yard low hur-
dles (1964, 1965) and won the
state championship in the 100-
yard dash his junior year — tying
for first in the event his senior
year. 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.

even know what starting blocks
were for,’” Stonelake wrote.
“The program has come a long
way since then. 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.
