Canton McKinley Boys Top Ten Track and Field

It's July 02, 2018 (Updated) This is IUDOGS signing off.
 
Good lists, as I remember many these athletes.
Keep in mind that your "mile-relay" team from the early 70's was GREAT! faster than any 4 x 400 foursome in Stark County history as as a mile relay is about 10 yards farther than a 1600 relay. Their 4:17.xx would be about a 4:15 high today.
Those guys must have been unreal for their era.
IMO You should include them somewhere on this list.
 
Rafe Lazer must come off your list since he ran the 300m hurdle before the height was changed from 30"to 36" in 1987.
In 1971 the mile relay team finished third at state in 3:18.6 the time which is listed as McKinley's school record, converts to somewhere around 3:17.4. That is the fastest state meet time for them from the 1970s

Thanks Lancer.... The converted time is listed as our "Stark County record"... I thought that time was for the mile relay (unaware that it had already been converted)
 
A couple thoughts here IUDOGS,

1) Nice work. I'm impressed by anyone that can produce a remotely accurate top 10 list.

2) Spend some time proofreading and fixing spelling mistakes and whatnot. I know some of those athletes either have a letter missing or a letter too many in their names. For example, the middle distance star from '85 was Kevin Sheward, not Steward. He was a transfer from Jackson. Incidentally, I always thought Peterson's (check your distance records) name was John Paul Peterson, but if it's James, then so be it. He lapped me a few times during my 3200 career, haha.

3) Do some more checking on the top two guys in the 100m dash, Gamble and Curry. For one, I'm pretty sure April 21, 1996 was a Sunday. For two, Gamble and Curry would've been sophomores during the 1996 track season. For three, my school dualed McKinley at Don Scott Field on April 21 in both 1997 and 1998. I believe the 100m dash that produced both of those races occurred on April 21, 1998. I was there. There's a very good chance that the Repository wrote a detailed article about that race. That was the spring following the mythical USA Today National Championship in football. Curry and Gamble were seniors. IIRC, Gamble got hurt at the state meet that year. Our top sprinter, frosh and fellow Cantonian Tony Watkins (who eventually transferred to McKinley for a year and returned to my school for his senior year) ran a school record 10.9 in that race and didn't score! Here's the thing though, the race was hand-timed. All of the times from that race need to be converted to FAT. Otherwise, that 10.51 would be the Stark County record, even better than Devin Smith's 10.56 which is the current Stark County record. Incidentally, Watkins would top out at an 11.00 FAT by the end of his HS career.
 
Additionally, I believe the meet on 4/21/98 also saw a female spectator get hit in the head by a stray discus throw. IIRC, she ended up being OK after a brief hospital stay.
 
I never thought I'd live to see the day where the Canton McKinley boys track and field team had 110+ points scored on them in a dual meet. I never thought I'd live to see the day where the Canton McKinley boys track and field team failed to score a single point at the league meet in either an individual sprint or jumping event (the league scores 8 places in all events, so relay points are basically free). Furthermore, I never thought I'd live to see the day when the Canton McKinley boys track and field team failed to score a point of any kind at the district meet. What the heck is going on? Are the athletes from the other sports being talked out of going out for the team? The Ruffin twins (who graduated last year) weren't the only good athletes they had.
