WINS
TRACK MEET
FROM OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS Gu
FRIDAY.
BROOklNGS TAKES THIRD
EVENTS ARE CLOSE AND SEVERAL
RECORDS ARE SMASHED.

49, Ahs HhSA oSAOOA
meet, held under auspices of the State
college Friday, attracted a large num-
Der of athletes from different parts of
the state. The schools represented
son, Mitchell and Lake Benton. The
events were all closely contested and
from an artistic standpoint the meet
could hardly be improved ON.
The Huron team, winners of the last
years meet, were again victorious and
by a larger score than in 1909. Pierre
was second; Brookings, third; Madi-
son, fourth; Mitchell, fifth, and Lake
Benton failed to register a point. The
points were divided up as follows:
Huron, 81; Pierre, 81; Brookings, %;
Madison, 10; Mitchell, /.
Four association records were
smashed and the time in every event
was good. In the pole vault Catlett
of Bookings, raised the mark from
9 feet, 8 inches to 10 feet, 6 inches.
This is a fine record for a high school
boy and will compare favorably with
the marks made by college vaulters
in this section. Catlett had an easy
time in this event, outclassing the
rest of the bunch, and there is no
question but what he is the best high
school vaulter in the state. He tried
for II feet, but fell a little shy on
his first attempt but no doubt he
could have made 10 feet, 9 inches.
Caldwell Of Brookings, was another
record smasher, lowering the time for
the quarter mile from So and 80 to
"a seconds. This is another record
that will compare most favorably with
college time. The other two record
breaking performances were made by
Huron athletes. In the board jump
Freed raised the old mark of 20 feet
7 inches to q feet, IL inches, and
Walker lowered the high hurdle mark
of L and Is seconds to an even II.
Lacey Caldwell was the star of the
Bookings team, winning 16 points,
over one-half of his teams total. He
took the first in the mile and quarter
mile and second in the half-mile and
two mile and in two events demon
strated his superiority over the rest
of the bunch.
Catlett was the other big point win
ner for Brookings. He took first in
the pole vault, second in the high
jump and third in the high hurdles,
a total Of nine points. Johnson and
Lanphier were the other Brookings
boys to win points. Johnson took
third in the two weight events and
Lanphier captured a point in the two
mile run
Huron had a good bunch of sprint
ers and practically cleaned up ON the
three speed events, getting % out OF
the 81 points. They also showed well
in the hurdles, getting two firsts and
a second.
The weather was ideal for a track
meet. being One OF the few nice days
of the month, and as a consequence
there was a big crowd out. The Wis
iting athletes were accompanied by
a large number of r~ooters, Huron's
supporters being most in evidence. and
there was some lively cheering for
each team. The visitors were well
entertained by BrOokings and were
we'll pleased with their visit.
