Mountain school’s track yields gold from small town grit
Lester Washington area high school mounts a storied track effort despite wooden homemade hurdles and a sand pit from a river. Coach Tom Wilson, one of two teachers, fields nine of 13 students, including Diz Dumpis who qualified for the girls state meet. Transportation and facilities remain scarce as snows isolate the town, yet the team forges ahead with improvised gear and grit.

200 mph lap at Indy seen as feasible by Unser
AP reports Bobby Unser believes a 200 mph lap at Indianapolis is possible, with an unofficial 194.721 mph lap topping the track record. He notes faster times arise from chutes rather than long straights, as 16 drivers posted 100 mph plus by Wednesday. Other drivers, including Revson and Bettenhausen, show strong form in first-week speeds.
