Blue Streak Trackers MayThreaten Several FormerRecords During CampaigniIrSandusky High school track and field records several of which date back through the years to 1923 and others established last spring will be threatened by Coach Bob Oldfather's athletes in coming meets this campaign,The shot-put, discus and javelin events, all set by London Gant in 1932, are probably the only marks that will stand this year and likely will not be disturbed for years tocome unless another yet unheard of star is uncovered.Fred Smith is the only member of this year’s team credited with a school record. His time in the milerun last spring of 4:49 stands an excellent chance to be bettered. As the season advances Willis Alexander may come within a few seconds of tying or bettering Robert Harple’stime in the 880-yard run but is notpicked to register a new record.Nine of the Blue Streak athletes claiming local high school records, whether individual or. relays, were trained under the direction of Coach Whittaker.
