In spite of injuries to several key runners and lack of
depth in several events, Mayfair's track team has made a good showing
in their meets with Paramount, Long Beach Jordan, Los Altos, and Duarte
high schools.
Injuries
Sprinter Bob Geilhausen, who last year posted times of
10.3 and 22.5 for the sprints, pulled up in the Paramount meet with a
pulled muscle in his leg. Hurdler Gary Nance also sustained a leg injury
in the same meet. Nance last year breezed over the 180 lows in a very
swift 20.5 clocking Because of the injuries, neither Nance or Geilhausen
have achieved their last year's best times.
Best Times
Outstanding times thus far have been a 2.08 clocking in
the 880 by Larry Weidner.
Al Webber, competing for the 'B' team, ran a 10.5
in the century. Webber has also been running as anchor man in the
relays.

Heavy-weight Bob Kempton is rounding into shape in the
shot put. He tossed the 16 pounder 48'2" against Duarte. Big Bob
is expected to take all comers this year in his specialty and go to the
C.I.F. finals for the second year in a row.
Dominguez Relays
Carl Allen, Cee high jumper, led the Cee high jump team
to a first place victory at Compton High School in the Dominguez Relays.
Carl has a jump of 5'7" to his credit and has four years of
competition ahead of him.
Mayfair's Bee pole vaulters also took first place at
the relays.
Strong Points
Gary Johnson, senior high jumper and broad jumper, is
picking up the points. Teamed with Gary Nance, they formed a big twosome
in the broad jump. Bob Kempton is always tough in the shot put and Bob
Geilhausen in sprits is a point getter for Coach Street.
