West Runners Win Fourth CSL Title
Winning is the rule rather than the exception. This is perhaps the best way to describe this year's Warrior track team which continued to roll over virtually all opponents these past three weeks.
For the fourth time in a row, the Warrior trackmen won the C.S.L.'s South Division Conference Meet. This, combined with a blue ribbon showing in the Blue Demon Relays and a strong second place showing in the Evanston Relays, will set the stage for what might be a remembered outdoor season this spring.
This week's Warrior stars were two of the main reasons why, the Warriors were successful at the conference meet. Mike Klebe and Steve Myers placed one‑two in both the high jump and triple jump, the latter being one of the few weak spots in the Warrior battle plan before the meet. For his efforts, Klebe set two new conference records in a meet in which all winners would do likewise because of the new conference setup.
Others setting conference records for West were Jeff Brydges in the 880‑yard run and the twomile relay team of Brydges, Mark Caras, Don Murray, and Greg Koeller.
