WILLIAMSBURG, Va, May
19 CAP). - Record-smashing
Jimmy johnson and Sophomore
Ronnie Spruill led the way as
expected as Norviews Pilots
won their first Virginia Group
IA track title in history Satur-
day in the 45th annual meet |
which ended on a note of con-
troversy.
johnson shattered the meet |
records for both the $50 and
mile and Spruill bolted to vic
tories in the 100 and 220-yard
dashes as Norview rolled up 38
points-more than double the
total as any other team. John
son ran the mile in 4.22.9 and
the $50 in 1855:
But the meet ended on a
jarring note when Washington
Lee Of Arlington's tremendous
mile relay team was disqualified
for cutting a runner off after
bliStering the William & Mary
track in 3:25.1.
The Little Generals barely
beat out Hampton, and the
crabbers-clocked in only a
slightly less sensational 1884
had the honor of wiping a
29-year-old record off the
books, the 3:27.5 mark set way
back in 1888 by a foursome
from John Marshall of Rich
mond.
Steve Lowe of Warwick bare
ly missed on his second try in
the pole vault at 14-2H that
would have given him a crack
at the seemingly unasSailable
mark Of 14-4A set last year
by John Mccormick Of New
port News. But Lowe couldn't
make the height and settled for
13-9-making him only the sec
ond Virginia scholastic per-
former to achieve that height.
Wakefield Of Arlington and
Newport News tied for second
place behind Norview in the
team scoring with II points
each. Hammond of Alexandria
was fourth with 16 points.
Other Northern Virginia scorers
were Washington Lee, IL;
Madison, 8; Falls Church, 4;
Lee, 8; George Washington and
Mount Vernon, 2. and Nc
Lean /.
The first two finishers in the
180-yard low hurdleS-Buddy
Beall of Hammond Of Alexan-
dria and Glenn Spear of Gran
by Of Norfolk-were caught in
the same time, :20.6.
The broad jump, as expect
ed. was won by Preston Black
well of James Madison with a
leap Of 21-6A. But Blackwell,
who last year became the first
Negro participant in a state
wide meet, was disappointed at
his performance - he's done
22-8-and said he was more
tense this year than last.
