UHRICHSVILLE - Two records were broken Saturday in the Annual County Boys' Track Meet. Midvale with 48.5 emerged as the victor in the exciting Junior High event, a first place in the final event of the day...The 880-Yard Relay...deciding the outcome. Tuscarawas Valley finished 2nd at 41.5.
Midvale held a slim 43.5-40.5 lead over Tuscarawas Valley going into the final and a victory was a must and Butch Shear, Barnett, Steve Keesey and Beans met the challenge, overtaking Strasburg's 880-Yard Relay team in the final heat to take the win. The Trojans ended 5th in the event to kill hopes of a double victory. Blue Devil Barry Weaver and Trojan Dale Foraker were the standouts in the Junior competition, each taking 2 blue ribbons. Weaver also set one record. He was clocked at 0:24.95 in the 220-Yard Dash to smash a record owned by Wertz of Tuscarawas Valley of 0:26.45 last year. Quillen of Midvale also broke the record in taking 2nd place with a 0:25.6 time. Weaver's other blue ribbon came in the 75-Yard Dash as he nipped Miller of Garaway with a time of 0:08.6. Foraker took ribbons in the Shot Put with a 41-foot, 9.75 inch toss and the 440-Yard Dash with a clocking of 0:59.7. Another record nearly broken was in the Pole Vault when Gene Ford of Midvale just missed breaking the 9-foot, 3-inch record set by Miller of Garaway in 1959. Ford topped 9 feet, 2.5 inches before missing at 9 feet, 3.5 inches. The other record set in the Junior circuit was by Dwight Yoder of Garaway who blazed through the low hurdles with a 0:15.75 time to break a 0:16 record by Myers of Tuscarawas in 1961. Tim Badertscher of Midvale provided fans with the finest finish of the day in the 880-Yard Run. Running behind Myers of Tuscarawas and Sherer of Strasburg, he came on fast to overtake Myers at the 50-yard mark and finished about 2 laps ahead with a time of 2:22.4. Other 1st places finishes in the Junior High competition included Rocky Boylan of Strasburg in the Discus (87 feet, 11.25 inches), Ken Duff of Strasburg in the Broad Jump (15 feet, 9 inches) and Mike Burkhart of Tuscarawas Valley in the High Jump (4 feet, 10 inches). Garaway's 440-Yard Relay team of Snyder, Terry Miller, Smith and Richardson accounted for the other blue ribbon with a 0:52.6 timing.
