Competition was fierce
during last weekend's Morrow
County Invitational track
meet at Umatilla.
Seventeen schools sent
teams to take part in the meet.
Good weather, an excellent
track, and great competition
combined to result in some
remarkable times for Class-A
track.
Heppner Coach Dale Con
klin termed the event "the
toughest Class-A track meet
ever held in the state of
Oregon." And he probably
wasn't overstating the case.
Seven of the first place
finishers have the best marks
for their events in the state. A
full dozen first place showings
in the boys' events were good
for meet records, and all but
two first place finishes in the
girls' competition surpassed
previous meet bests.
Heppner boys placed fourth
in team standings, behind
Enterprise, Joseph and
Weston-McEwen. The Fillies
took fifth. On an individual
basis, the Heppner thinclads
showed they are able to
compete with the best.
Mustang weightman Jim
Parker took firsts and broke
personal records in both shot
put and discus. He hurled the
MS
HHS winning on

Safi
Ione's Kevin McCabe beats the ball to first base even though Mustang secondbaseman Mike
6 i Stookey makes a valiant effort to get the horsehide there on time. Heppner crushed the Cards 16-6
in the Tuesday afternoon tilt at the Fairgrounds.
Mustangs, Fillies first at 5-way
Umatilla track meet

five-way track meet at Uma
tilla, despite reports from

second.

points to edge the hosting
Umatilla girls by two, with
Stanfield finishing third with
44 points. lone took fourth,
with Riverside placing fifth in
the girls' standings.
In boys' competition, the
Mustangs tallied 78 points,
well ahead of second-place
Riverside with 50, Umatilla
with 43, lone with 34, and

placed high in the meet
included Richard Schmidt,

out teammate Larry Palmer
by less than two seconds to
win the 1,500 meter run in
4:38.33, and took top honors in
the 3,000 meter run in 10:07.5
less than a tenth of a second
better than second place
Palmer.
Mustang jumping specialist
Schmidt also won the high
jump, clearing six feet in the
blustery weather, and the
triple jump with a leap of
41-7 just ahead of Jim Park
er and Bryan Marlin.

intermediate hurdles in 51.1
seconds, good for second
place, and Bryan Marlin's
155-5 javelin throw also earned
second place points.

again racked up the points for
Heppner, taking first in the 400
meter run in 1:00.3; first in the
long jump at 16-4, and first in
