Track and Field

Although Owego did not win the league

championship, the track and field men had a

good season.

The highlight of the 1966 season was the

Southern Counties League Championship

meet in which Owego Free Academy took

second place because of the cunning and

craftiness of child psychologist Coach John

Cornick. Entering the meet, the Indians

were considered a far shot to finish higher

than fourth. But Coach Cornick juggled the

participants at different events and came up

with some outstanding performances. Be–

sides sweeping both the 880 Yard and Mile

Medley Relays, Owego won the Broad Jump

with Gary Deuel and the 880 Yard Dash with

Curtis Schweizer.

In other action, Owego beat Waverly and

Catholic Central in competition, but lost to

Vestal, Homer, and Horseheads. The Indians

also took first place in fine style in the Tioga

County Invitational, held at Marvin Park.

An exceptionally strong performance

was given by co-captain Manning Stahl, who

participated in the N.Y.S. meet after taking

second place in Section Four in the 220 Yard

Dash. Also Jack Mayberry finished third

in

the 880 Yard Dash against Homer. Individual

school records were made by Gary Deuel in

the Triple Jump, Curt Schweizer in the Two

Mile Run, and both Dennis Konzal and Bran–

don Shaff in the Pole Vault. The Mile Medley

Relay record was smashed by runners Dick

Whitaker, Manning Stahl,

Gary

Deuel, and

Curtis Schweizer.

Next year should be a better season as

Owego's most consistent performers are

returning. The entire distance team, con–

sisting of Jess Hunt, Art Rider, Mike Wat–

kins, Bob Thompson, Larry Dick, Albert

Howe, and Jack Mayberry, will work for top

place.
