Floyd Dryden against Marie Drake, cross country, reported by the Juneau Empire on Wednesday 16 October 1974 as having been held "last weekend". Saturday the 12th is taken here; the paper does not say which of the two days.
Floyd Dryden's boys won 15 to 50, a perfect score, and their first seven runners finished within seven seconds of each other - 7:04 to 7:11. Joe Hard took first and kept an unbeaten season across two invitationals and two dual meets with Marie Drake. The Floyd Dryden girls won 20 to 43 by placing seven in the first eight, but Jo Ann Martin of Marie Drake took the race.
Not everyone who ran is here. No Marie Drake boy is named at all, though their team scored 50, and the girls' report describes seven Floyd Dryden runners in the first eight places while naming six. The twenty-two results held are those the Empire printed.
The two-mile is a Floyd Dryden event for school letters rather than part of the dual meet. The article reports it alongside the others and gives it no date of its own, so it is recorded on the same day without that being established.
The story closes by announcing the City Championship for the following Thursday, at seven mile Glacier Highway on the new road, with medals in both the girls' and boys' races. |
