4 The Spirit Behind Georgia Olympics FORTY-TWO YEARS AGO a proposal was made to the beauty, efficiency and consistency provided by the Georgia Georgia High School Association that championships for all five Olympics has had a share in the tremendous improvements in classifications be held at one location at the same time. It was high school . This program booklet carries both guaranteed that recognition of excellence of effort and accom- current information as well as a wealth of history that helps to plishments would be effectively done. The proposal was accepted. make the Georgia Olympics the NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED Cooperatively, it has worked beautifully. Many new athletic event that it is. records are set every year and All-American performances are The community of Jefferson enjoys sponsoring the meet becoming more numerous. because it knows the expensive effort benefits young people. The Better trained athletes and better coaches are basi- community provides many medals, trophies, and other awards cally responsible. It is firmly believed that the environment of which have become a part of the TRADITION. Morris M. Bryan, Jr. 1919 - 1984 President, Jefferson Mills 1948-1984 Co-Founder, Georgia Olympics 1972 A Life Dedicated to and Lived In the Pursuit of Excellence Morris Bryan died at the age of 65. His life was full of accomplishments and recognition for those ac- complishments. He was an intense man. When he believed in something, he pursued it with unequaled energy and enthusiasm. When he had an idea, his mind was capable of creating the picture of the completed project, including the mechanics by which the idea could be developed into reality. The dreams were heavily weighed by their fairness and benefit to others. He disliked the limelight of headlines and many times would give credit for success to others. The idea and dream of the Georgia Olympics was his. He believed in it. It was one of the highlights of his life — worked on, studied, continually improved, always devising ways so that others could share his enthusiasm for the event and the sport of Track and Field; adding ways in which the achievement of excellence could be recognized. Why? To set goals and work at their fulfillment or attainment. To pursue excellence. To champion winning as opposed to the acceptance of medi- ocrity. To foster teamwork and motivation. To create and encourage the desire for one’s personal best in all things. To foster good sportsmanship. To reward or recognize excellence. To encourage competition to the end of more and more excellence. To bring together athletes, coaches, spectators and community in the pursuit of that which benefits all. To teach “suck it up and go” in the face of disappointments and hardships. Morris Bryan was the Georgia Olympics and the event is Morris Bryan. Though the dreamer is not present, the dream lives on. We share that dream. As long as we are honored with the opportunity to host this event, we pledge our personal best effort every time out! “Mr. Starter, we’re ready when you are. Thank you — very much!” The Morris M. Bryan Memorial Trophy is awarded each year to the athlete who is the outstanding performer over all sessions and clas- sifications of Georgia Olympics. Thomas M. Bryan, II 1927 - 2005 A life dedicated in celebrating gifts to others Tom Bryan would not approve of this recognition. He would have actively sought to have it suppressed. His name never appeared in this program before, because he would not hear of it. Tom Bryan shunned the spotlight, always believing that all are called to serve quietly and without fanfare. He loved nature and respected his place within, for the same reason. His infectious laughter was a renewal of spirit to all who heard it, often in midst of his own pain. The Spirit of the Georgia Olympics was a shared affair between Tom, his brother Morris and the community of Jefferson. The idea worked because they wanted to bring together the best athletes in the state so all could see and be exposed to each others’ efforts. The statement was born here, “That exposure to excellence prompts excellence.” It also worked because no one here sought the recognition, heaping it instead on the competitors, past and present. Morris was the voice of the Olympics, but he often referred to Jack Keen and his brother Tom as the heart and soul of the Georgia Olympics. Greatness is never worn by those that are; rather they seek anonymity, thereby showing others the path to greatness. As you enjoy the performances of these great athletes and celebrate their accomplishments, victories and personal bests; join with those of us who knew Tom and Morris and thank them for their lifelong dedications to the pursuit of excellence. Rebekah Bryan Rebekah Bryan’s love for track and field and athletics in general started at an early age. Her step-father was legendary Georgia Tech football coach and athletic director William A. Alexander. She grew up spending much of her time at athletic events and with the coaches and athletes participating in them. Rebekah’s work with the Georgia Olympics began with its inception and was always a labor of love. For many years she spent countless hours preparing for the event. Before the advent of the personal computer she meticulously filled out index cards and assigned numbers to all the competing athletes at the Olympics. It seemed every flat surface at her home was filled with the information needed to reward athletes for their individual performances. In the early days of the Georgia Olympics, she hosted a social event at her home for coaches and visiting dignitaries. As the years passed she gradually took on lesser roles, but her love for the event continued until her death.

5 THE OPERATION OF GEORGIA OLYMPICS UMPIRES: Spectators as well as contestants will observe judges with flags around the track on all running events. These men observe all possible violations of track rules and when contestants pass their area of jurisdiction, wave a white flag, meaning everything is “O.K.” or a yellow flag, indicating a possible infraction or violation. On relay races, a yellow flag can mean that the baton was passed outside legal zone, or that a runner was out of his lane, or that a runner cut in front of another too quickly. On a race involving no lanes, 800 meters, 1600 meters or 3200 meters, a yellow flag can mean a runner cut in too quickly, not giving the other runner one stride distance before doing so. On hurdle races, a yellow flag could identify a hurdler that did not get both feet over the hurdle plane. If one foot was lagged or allowed to drag below the hurdle height, he would be disqualified, and a yellow flag would be flown by a Georgia Olympic umpire.

TENT SPACE: No individual team tents will be permitted on the field inside the fence where the track is located.

WIND GAUGES: For a national record to be recognized in certain events, there cannot be a following or tail wind exceeding two meters per second, which is 4.473 miles per hour. The events are: 1. Long Jump 2. Triple Jump 3. 100 Meter Dash 4. 110 Meter Hurdles 5. 200 Meter Dash (In these events the wind gauge is located about halfway down the runway. Note: One gauge located halfway applies at all times.)

AWARDS: At the conclusion of all final events, the first 8 finishers must go immediately to the victory stand. Winners will be announced and medals presented before the next event is begun. You must go to the victory stand promptly so that we can stay on schedule while recognizing you and your achievement. GHSA in conjunction with Georgia Farm Bureau, awards medals for 1st and 2nd place. Third through eighth place medals will be provided by the Atlanta Track Club.

ANNOUNCEMENTS OF EVENTS: First Call will be given 15 minutes before each event. Contestants must report immediately to the Clerk of Course. His position is identified on the infield by sign marked CLERK. Calls for field events will also be given. On final call, contestants must report to the official for his event. Last Call will be given 5 minutes before race. Contestants must report immediately to the starters. Remember: The order of running in each final event will be A, AA, AAA, AAAA, AAAAA and AAAAAA.

6 THE OPERATION OF GEORGIA OLYMPICS SPLITS: All individual races with more than one lap will have “splits” announced over the loud speaker for the first six runners at each lap.

TENTATIVE STARTING HEIGHTS: AAAAAA AAAAA AAAA AAA AA A High Jump 5’10” 5’10” 5’10” 5’10” 5’10” 5’8” Bar moves up 2” until 6’6” is reached, then at the discretion of the official.

Pole Vault 11’ 11’ 10’6” 10’ 10’ 9’6” Moves up 6” until 14’0” is reached, then at the discretion of the official.

WEIGH DISCUS AND SHOT: Scales are located at the white building adjacent to the shot put area. All shot and discus must be weighed and checked before using. The implement must carry the mark of approval for Georgia Olympics, otherwise they cannot be used.

PRINCIPLES OF advancement: (2013 Track and Field Rules Book | The National Federation of State High School Association and the GHSA Bylaws) In the two heat races, the athletes for the finals are chosen by place over time. Advancement from sectional to state and state preliminaries to finals: Top two finishers of each heat and the next four faster times. In the first round competition only, if two contestants from the same team fall within the same heat, move the slow runner to another heat by interchanging with a runner of nearest comparable place and time (weighing place first and time second).

SCORING 1st Place - 10 Points 3rd Place - 6 Points 5th Place - 4 Points 7th Place - 2 Points

2nd Place - 8 Points 4th Place - 5 Points 6th Place - 3 Points 8th Place - 1 Point

COACHES PASSES FOR ADMISSION TO FIELD: With the exception of field events, all coaches must obtain from the information booth (located at the top of the stadium at the end of the press box) a special FIELD PASS for admission to the field or track area. If for any reason a coach must go on the track or field, he must obtain a FIELD PASS. When the business has been transacted, he then returns the PASS to the information booth. There will be stationed in the stands, among the spectators, and at each gate on the field, a patrol to eliminate any unauthorized people on the field. This will eliminate some confusion oc- curring in years past and make it better for judges, timers and spectators to see what needs to be seen. Thank you very much for your cooperation.

49 State record Award This plaque will be awarded to anyone in any classification who ties or breaks the existing State record during the three days of the Georgia Olympics. It can be either in the preliminaries or the finals. If a record is broken in a preliminary heat and the new record is later broken in another preliminary heat, only 1 plaque will be awarded to the latter. If this record is broken in the finals, an additional plaque will be awarded. Record Plaques for Friday’s field events and running preliminaries will be presented during the Final Session Opening Ceremonies, Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. Plaques for Saturday finals will be shipped after the event. Best Performance Trophies & Medallions

The trophies and medallions are for the best performance in each event, regardless of classification, and are given by the community of Jefferson. These awards are named for outstanding individuals who have excelled in their events. TEAM Trophies

These are amongst the most coveted in the state. A trophy is awarded to the first four high point teams in each classification. These trophies will be presented at the conclusion of the meet on Saturday.

50 MORRIS M. BRYAN Morris M. Bryan Memorial Trophy Outstanding Performer In the spirit of how Morris conceived, guided and nurtured the Georgia Olympics, we wanted to name a trophy in memory of him. After much thought and consideration of a variety of ideas and approaches to the type recognition we wanted the trophy to be, we arrived at trying to select the outstanding performer that emerges from all of the sessions of the Georgia Olympics. There were several ways this could be done. What we considered to be the fairest, most objective method is a point system as follows: • Award 10 points for each Record Plaque won. If relay team on which he runs sets a record, score 2-1/2 points. • Award 20 points for each Best Performance Trophy won. If relay team on which he runs wins the Best Performance Trophy, score 5 points to the individual. • Award 1 point for each point scored by the individual in a final event. The individual with the highest point total after the mile relay Saturday afternoon will be the winner. In the event of a tie, duplicate trophies will be awarded. The Jefferson Track Club is proud to present this trophy at the Georgia Olympics and hope it will become the most prestigious of all the awards and worth an extra effort toward excellence on the part of the participants.

51 HERMAN J. STEGEMAN Herman J. Stegeman Award HIGH POINT CHAMPION The Herman J. Stegeman Trophy will be presented to the individual scoring the highest number of points during the meet scored on the same basis as credit given to his team, including one-fourth of any points received by a relay team on which he participated. In the event of a tie, the winner will be selected on the basis of record set or the most outstanding performance amongst those trying. HERMAN J. STEGEMAN was a prep and college star in four sports and later coached them all at the University of Georgia, but he always considered track his first love. As a collegiate middle-distance runner, he was a member of the University of Chicago national champion mile relay team. At Georgia, where he served as Director of Athletics, he coached the track team from almost the moment he set foot on the campus in 1919 until a year before his death in 1939. H. J.

I enjoy the whole of Georgia’s track and field community. was a great sprinter and long jumper himself.” 54 MEN AT WORK ... While watching the games as well as fa- mous guests, officials still have a job to do. And at the Georgia Olympics, they fulfill their roles very well. Many track and field meets take place across the state throughout the school year, but the state meet is by far the most important - and credible - as state records can only be set and broken at the Georgia Olympics. “We know we’ve got good officials,” said Glenn. “We know weather conditions are go- ing to be monitored and we know things are going to be done right. We have people with vast experience running these things. One of the main things is seeing all the people of Jef- ferson coming together to do this, and they’ve been doing it since 1972.” Each official has his own role to play. While the meet official at the pole vault has a James Pinion, William Howington set of rules to enforce, another at the track has an entirely different set of things to look for. “What you look for mostly is the tape on the pole, the weight rating on the pole,” said Tolbert of his role as pole vault official. “A competitor is not supposed to have a pole rated lighter than his body weight. That is something we look for. The ability for the competitors not to get hurt is something else to (monitor) as well.” Howington, meanwhile, has a much dif- ferent job at the triple jump pit. “In the triple jump, you have to watch and make sure they don’t take off in front of the toe board. And they have to land on the foot they took off from, they have to step, then Bolling DuBose Jack Keen jump into the pit and they can’t come out of the pit backwards,” he explained. Glenn is at the shot put; a short, but in- tense field event that sometimes causes com- petitors to lose control of their emotions. “I remember one time we had to disqualify a kid for uttering an expletive very loudly twice, and the head meet official happened to be stand- ing right by me when he did that,” Glenn remem- bered. “It wasn’t muttered under his breath, so the ruling was we had to disqualify him.” Meet officials, regardless of their indi- vidual functions, have an important role in the Georgia Olympics each year. Without their honest eyes and judicious minds, the much-anticipated event would not mean as much to the people of Georgia. As it stands, however, the job the officials carry out each year remains one of the main reasons why the Georgia Olympics is one of the most respect- Dennis Horne Gary Glenn ed meets in all of high school sports.
