BULLDOGS SWEEP TRACK MEET

Ideal weather and a fast track combined to give the SHS Bulldog track team a 76-55 victory over Coeur d’Alene Saturday on the Vikings’ oval. The Bulldogs tied two school records and had several other outstanding efforts.

Bulldog Jack Parkins was a triple winner for the third meet in a row. He tied his own school record in the 180-yd. low hurdles, covered the highs in 15.5, and leaped 20 ft. in the long jump.

Sandpoint’s other record-tying event was the 440 relay. The quartet of Bruce Carter, Steve Klatt, John Goin and Scott Wyatt took .4 off their previous best time to equal 1955’s 46.0 record.

Other victorious Bulldogs were Gary Bates in the 440 dash; Bruce Wells, shot put; Goin, high jump; Arvid Anderson, two mile; Craig Leckner, discus toss; and John Scott, Dwight Sheffler, Bates and Randy James in the mile relay.
