GEORGE BROWN CHOSEN TRACK AND FIELD "ATHLETES OF THE YEAR" Versatile Jack Davis of Hoover, Glendale was the outstanding per- former in C. I. F., Southern Section, circles for the season of 1949* Zavis, by virtue of his hurdling and broad jumping ability, led his teammates to the C. I. F. title, and to second place in the California State Meet. Jumpin' Jack was unbeaten in both hurdle races, posting a mark of. 14»4s. in the high sticks and 19.2s. (twice) in the low bar- riers. In addition, he had a best leap of 23 ft. 9 l/2 in. and was defeated only three times in that event. However, it might be noted that two of the losses came in the C. I. F. and State meets, while the third was suffered in a dual meet against rival Glendale. Here is a review of what Davis did to win the C. I. F. title for Hoover: t • Won the highs in 14»5s. for a new C. I. F. record; took the lows in 19*2s. to tie his own mark set a week previous; grabbed a second in the broad jump at 23 ft. 7 1/2 in.; and brought his relay team from behind to annex first place honors in lm,29»#s. He repeated his hurdle triumphs in the State Meet, notched a third in the broad jump, and anchored his relay team to a third spot. When a prep breaks any of the famed Jesse Owens' sterling records, that's worthy of recognition. Not only did George Brown of Jordan, t;Os Angeles smash the great Owens' broad jump mark, but the Los Angeles ijity standout of the season of 1949 became the first prep ever to span O feet. It didn't come- as much of & surprise, however, as track fans I "ATHLETES OF YEAR" (Cont.) had readied themselves for a smashing performance by the Jordan star. Rising from near obscurity early in the 1948 season, Brown was forced to play second man to another 23-foot performer, Bobby Smith. For the remainder of the dual meet season, Smith held the upper hand. But Brown came into his own in the Eastern League finals, setting a new mark of 23 ft. 10 l/2 in. From then on, he was never defeated. Only once did he fall below the 23-foot mark, and that was on a poor Garfield pit which had not been readied for jumping. As a mat- ter of fact, Brown, a 9«3s. dashman, could run only a 10.6s. on this occasion. Adding the sprints to his repertoire only as a helping-out measure to his team, George came through with clockings of 9.3s. and 21.4s. The epic leap took place on April 1 in a dual meet with Hunting- ton Park. Brown had just fouled on a jump of 24 ft. 6 in. On his fourth attempt, he hit the board squarely and bounded 25 ft. 2 1/2 in. The mark was approved by all officials present, and it will be only a matter of time before Brown receives recognition as the greatest prep leaper of all-time.

    DIVISION I 103 Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I 2001 Championships OUTDOOR TRACK Highlights Volunteers Are Victorious: Tennessee used a strong performance from its sprinters to edge TCU by a point May 30-June 2 at Oregon. The Volunteers earned their third title with 50 points, as the championship-clinching point was scored by the 1,600-meter relay team in the final event of the meet. Knowing it only had to finish the event to secure the point to break the tie with TCU, Tennessee’s unit passed the baton careful- ly and placed eighth. Justin Gatlin played the key role in getting Tennessee into position to win by capturing the 100- and 200-meter dashes. Gatlin was the meet’s only individual double winner. Sean Lambert supported Gatlin’s effort by finishing fourth in the 100. His position was another important factor in Tennessee’s victory, as he placed just ahead of a pair of TCU competitors. Gatlin and Lambert composed half of the Volunteers’ 400-meter relay team that was second. TCU was led by Darvis Patton, who was third in the 200, fourth in the long jump and sixth in the 100. He also was a member of the Horned Frogs’ victorious 400-meter relay team. TEAM STANDINGS 1. Tennessee ..................... 50 Colorado St. ................. 10 Missouri........................ 4 2.

  • Florence Griffith-Joyner Was a Two-Time Olympian, Earn- Ing Five Medals in the Process
    HISTORY/TRADITION HEAD COACHING HISTORY Since 1919, the UCLA men’s track team has been successfully led by six men - Harry Trotter, Elvin C. “Ducky” Drake, Jim Bush, Bob Larsen, Art Venegas and now, Mike Maynard. Behind these men, the Bruins have won eight National Championships, ranging from 1956 to 1988. Harry “Cap” Trotter - 1919 to 1946 Trotter started coaching the track team in 1919, the year UCLA was founded, and was called upon to coach the football team from 1920-1922. During his tenure as head track coach, Trotter produced numerous prominent track and field athletes. The pride of his coaching career were sprinter Jimmy LuValle and his successor, Elvin “Ducky” Drake. Elvin C. “Ducky” Drake - 1946 to 1964 In 19 seasons under Elvin “Ducky” Drake, UCLA had a dual meet record of 107-48-0 (.690) and won one NCAA Championship and one Pac-10 title. Drake was a charter member into the UCLA Hall of Fame in 1984 and was inducted inducted into the USA Track & Field Track & Field Hall of Fame in December of 2007. In 1973, the Bruin track and field complex was officially named “Drake Stadium” in honor of the UCLA coaching legend who had been associated with UCLA as a student-athlete, coach and athletic trainer for over 60 years. Some of Drake’s star athletes include Rafer Johnson, C.K. Yang, George Stanich, Craig Dixon and George Brown. Jim Bush - 1965 to 1984 Bush had incredible success during his 20 years as head coach, as UCLA won five NCAA Championships, seven Conference Championships and seven national dual meet titles under his guidance.
