"W e are a little short on numbers
this year," said head coach Dale
Conklin "Hut what we lack in
numbers we make up fur in talent
and hard workers "
The boys, currently down to sis.
are especially in short numbers
(¡real hopes are that Junior Jun
Storm will he back with the group in
another week Hut. they are hard
workers anil showing tremendous
improvement," said Conklin
Three have already turner! in
personal records in the two outings
with Chris McLoughlin turning in an
18 o time in the high hurdles and
47 I in the intermediate hurdles
Both are great improvements over
last year
Sophomore Jason Palmer is find
ing his own this year in the discus
witha throw of 118 6 last Saturday
for a third place finish, the highest
for a Meppner boy He is also
improving in the shot put and should
be a competitor in that event the rest
of the season
Scott Huschke found how lough
competition can be as he cleared 6 0
in the high jump good only for a fifth
place effort "Hreakm g that six foot
mark is an important breakthrough
for him for the rest of the season."
commented Conklin
Jason Dougherty. Wayne Wilgers
and Trent Harrison are all partici
paling in track for the first season at
HHS and each is showing some
talent Dougherty long jumped 18 5
last Saturday and is improving in
the sprints Wilgers jumped 5 8 at
Mac Hi but missed the Saturday
meet as did Harrison who turned in a
4 54 performance at 1500 meters and
shows good promise once he gets
some running experience
‘Although it is a small group, they
are a good group to work with They
are cooperative, listen and work at
whatever task If they stick with it.
each will be an outstanding tracks
ter," Conklin added
Kveryone knew the girls would tie
talented but Conklin had hoped the
turnout would tie a little larger Me
only scored four points in the field
events last Saturday That is our
glaring weakness
said Conklin
Hut the girls showed their class by
winning eight of ten running events
The seniors are providmg the hulk
of the talent with two juniors and a
pair of freshmen getting their share
of the ribbons
Janelee McKlhany has been win
ning the hurdles races consistently
and Conklin feels she is going to gel
better Stephanie Payne has state
bests in the lixi and 20U yard dashes

state champion from Prairie City in
the 4txi meter run I-una Held is
much stronger running the distance

anchoring both relay teams She had
25points while teammate McKlhany
