""DON VICK, RONNIE MORRIS AMD DARRYL ELLING^ SON NAMED TRACK ATHLETES OF YEAR FOR 1953 j_ Three outstanding Southern California High School Track and Field stars, ~Donald Vick, Chaffey, Ronald Morris, Burroughs, and Darryl Ellingson, Dorsey, were chosen for Helms Athletic Foundation All-Southern California Board of Track and Field Athlete of the Year honors for the 1953 season. Darryl Ellingson was named Athlete of the Year from among the Los Angeles City high schools, while Donald Vick and Ronald Morris were named co-athletes of the year from the Southern California C.I.F. high schools. -.-.... Ellingson was Los Angeles City 100 and 220-yard dash champion and took second place in both events at the State meet. Darryl has a best time of 9.7 for the 100 and 21.3 for the 220. Donald Vick and Ronald Morris shared Athlete of the Year honors in the C.I.F.- high school division. Vick took first place in the shot put at both the C.I.F. Southern Section meet and the State championships. During the season he broke the national interscholastic shot put record, held by Leon Patterson at 60« 9 7/8", with a push of 62' 5 1/4". Vick broke Patterson's accepted record on seven occasions during the season. Vick also broke the 16-pound shot put record, for high school athletes, with a put of 52' 9 7/8". Ronnie Morris, winner of the pole vault at the State meet, broke the national interscholastic pole vault record with a vault of 13' 11 l/8". This bettered the old" record, of 13' 9 5/8", made by John Linta of Mansfield, Ohio, in 1939. Morris was coached by George Boone, Donald Vick received his instruction from coach Truck Lindsey, and Darryl Ellingson was coached by Francis Benevidez. Coach Benevidez directed his Dorsey team to the Western League championship, his squad amassing a record league total of 71 6/7 points. —1— THELMS ATHLETIC FOUNDATION 1953 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TRACK AND FIELD RECORD BOOK J-J Having been named All-Southern California Board of Track and Field 1 'Athletes of the Year for 1953, Dorsey's Darryl Ellingson, Chaffey's Donald Vick and Burroughs1 Ronald Morris have had their names engraved upon the Paul H.

  • Outdoor Track and Field DIVISION I
    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.
