Another track and field article:
As many people know who read my Blog/Column, every now and then I write about the great high school athletes who participated in sports at Lindsay High School, my Alma-mater (class of 1975). I've written about Leopard football and basketball in prior columns, but now am collecting data about the great track and field athletes who participated at Lindsay High School... since time began. I need the help of track and field fans who read this blog/column, in identifying names, times, distances, or heights, and year participated, of those individuals who achieved greatness in track and field as a student at Lindsay. As a gauge or measuring stick, I currently have some names, times, and distances which track and field fans may use for giving me a "heads up" (sending me the requested information). The times and distances for boys are: 100 meters - 10.8 or 10.0 for 100 yards, 15.2 - 110 high hurdles, 200 meters - 22.7 or 22.9 for 220 yards, 180 yard low hurdles ?, 300 meter hurdles - 39.8 , 440 yards - 49.7 or 400 meters, 800 meters - 1:58 or 880 yards, 1600 meters - 4:39 or one mile, 3200 meters - 10:03 or 2 mile, Long Jump - 21' 10", Discus - 174' 2", High Jump - 6' 10", Shot - 57' 2", Pole Vault - none.
Girls events: 100 meters - none, 100 Hurdles - 15.03, 200 - 26.46, 300 Hurdles 45.59, 400 - 59.9, 800 - 2:32, 1600 - 5:43, 3200 - 13:31, Long Jump - 17'8", Discus - unknown, High Jump - 5'4", Shot - 41'6", Pole Vault - 9'6".
These times and distances are taken directly from the Track and Field record board which is displayed in the main hallway of Lindsay High School. I know that many more good "times and distances" exist prior to the year 2000, but none are listed or published - so I'd like anyone reading this Post to send the information by replying with a message or texting. We would like to publish the greatest all-time track and field athletes ever to attend Lindsay High School, as a result of your information - so please provide it.
