This event could not have happened without the hard work and coop- eration of the Jefferson High School staff, the Jefferson Board of Educa- tion, the Georgia High School Association, the Jefferson Track Club, and the many volunteers who work tirelessly each year to make it a success. Again, welcome to our city, and we hope your visit to Jefferson is enjoyable, and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Sincerely,

4 The Spirit Behind Georgia Olympics FORTY-ONE YEARS AGO a proposal was made to the efficiency and consistency provided by GEORGIA OLYMPICS Georgia High School Association that championships for all five has had a share in the tremendous improvements in high school classifications be held at one location at the same time. It was . This program booklet carries both current infor- guaranteed that recognition of excellence of effort and accomplish- mation as well as a wealth of history that helps to make GEOR- ments would be effectively done. The proposal was accepted. GIA OLYMPICS the NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED athletic Cooperatively, it has worked beautifully. Many new 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 basically community provides many medals, trophies, and other awards responsible. It is firmly believed that the environment of beauty, 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 accom- plishments. 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 Georgia Olympics was his. He believed in it. It was one of the highlights of his life — worked on, studied, continually improved, always devis- ing 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 mediocrity. 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 com- munity 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 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 classifications 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 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 Georgia Olympics. Great- ness 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 the legendary 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 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 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.

SCOREBOARD: The scoreboard, which can be seen easily from the stands, will keep a running score total of the top six teams in each class as each event is concluded.

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 State Farm, 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. Remem- ber: The order of running in each final event will be A, AA, AAA, AAAA, and AAAAA.

REPLACEMENT AND DISQUALIFICATION: Any replacement in an event (by the region secretary) must be made to the State Office not later than noon two days prior to the beginning of the State Track Meet (Tuesday, May 8). Any contestant disqualified in a region meet may not participate in the state meet in the event in which the contestant was disqualified. Relay teams should show six (6) contestants. No replacements may be made in the relays from the list submitted to the region secretary. Any 4 of the 6 may run in the region or state.

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: AAAAA AAAA AAA AA A High Jump 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’ 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 HEAT DRAWING: (2012 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. The first four finishers of each heat will be in the finals — regardless of their times. 1. Weigh place first 2. Weigh time second 3. Working from left to right and right to left: a. Group and seed first place winners by their times b. Group and seed second place winners by their times c. Group and seed third place winners by their times d. Group and seed fourth place winners by their times 4. 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). 5. If all heats do not have the same number of contestants, draw for the extra contestant assignment to heat by lot.

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 occurring 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.

9 FRED BERMAN Shot Put Fred Berman Trophy When Fred Berman broke the shot put record in 1956, the mark he erased had been a world record when it was set by LSU’s Jack Torance in 1933. Fred competed for the Marine Corps for three years between his sophomore and junior year at Georgia Tech and had the opportunity of training and competing with many world class athletes during his time. As a result of this exposure, he was one of the first in the South to introduce weight lifting into shot and discus training — a factor that carried him to a Tech shot record of 56’, 4-1/4”. In 1957, he was conference champion in both discus and shot. It is an especially pleasant sidelight that our own coach — Jack Keen — was a pole vaulter and triple jumper on the same Tech team on which Fred competed. On September 7, 1979, Fred was inducted into the Georgia Tech Athletic Hall of Fame.

11 CARL VEREEN Discus Throw Carl Vereen Trophy Carl was an All-American tackle on the great Georgia Tech football team of 1956. He and his friend, Fred Berman (see Shot Put) made an unbeatable team in the weights during the ‘55, ‘56, ‘57 years at Tech. SEC Discus Champion 1955-56, Shot Champion 1955, Carl set and held for a number of years the coveted Drake Realty Record and still holds the Georgia Tech Discus Record of 175’ 5-1/2” set in 1956. Carl has succeeded in his business life and is quick to say that his athletic career has had a big hand in helping him in the competitive business world.

13 BILLY WEEKS Pole Vault Billy Weeks Trophy No improvement, whether in facilities or equipment, has been as dramatic as that in the Pole Vault. Fiberglass poles with flexibility of literally throwing the vaulter upward with little or no concern of how he lands since he falls on foam rather than sawdust, almost make pole vaulting a different game. Billy Weeks, a great Tech athlete from 1938 to 1941, was a pole vaulter of the earlier game. Old Time vaulters used a bamboo cane pole about 3” in diameter, heavy to carry and probably flexed only about 1”. He depended on speed, muscle and body spring to do the job. The pole was a means and not an assist. Billy was SEC Champ, vaulting 13’ 6” to win in 1941. In those days, it was a real triumph, and all that knew him would like to know just how high he could vault with today’s facilities. Billy is a member of the Georgia Tech Athletic Hall of Fame, and is retired from Sears, Roebuck in Atlanta. We salute him for his athletic accomplishments and for what he has achieved in life — more than it would have been had track and field not been a part of his development.

Lewis served as Head Track Coach at UGA for about 15 years. The Cairo native captained Georgia in 1965. He won the SEC Long Jump that year with an SEC meet record leap of 24’. He has also won the Triple Jump with 49’ 1-1/2”. Following graduation in 1966, Gainey won the United States Track and Field Federation Long Jump with 24’ 10-1/2” and the Triple Jump with 50’ 6-3/4”. Earlier, in Atlanta, he had his career best long jump with 25’ 3” in the Southwestern USTAFF Meet. In March 1977, Gainey started the Georgia Relays, which includes colleges and Georgia high schools. In 1982, Lewis was named SEC Coach of the Year and was an assistant coach for the National Junior Pan-American Team. His athletes earned many NCAA All-American honors and individual indoor and outdoor conference championships. In 1984, his 400-meter relay team won the NCAA championship. He has coached several Olympians.

17 ED HAMM Long Jump Ed Hamm Trophy Ed Hamm was the first man from colleges in the United States to receive international Olympic recognition. He did well on the track in the 100, 220 and 440, but his real claim to fame was the Long Jump on the Olympic Team in 1928. After stellar performances wearing the gold and white at Georgia Tech, he set an Olympic record in Amsterdam with a jump of 25’ 3” and came away as the first Georgian to claim an Olympic Gold Medal. His record stood for eight years. He later set a world record of 25’ 11-3/4” which stood until the great Jesse Owens broke it in 1936. Ed was named to the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1982. He lived in Portland, OR, but traveled that distance in order to attend Georgia Olympics XI in 1982.

19 SONNY POSS High Jump Sonny Poss Trophy Sonny Poss is a firm believer in competitive athletics, for they prepare young men and women for situations which they are sure to meet in life. Sonny says, “Georgia Olympics offers an outstanding opportunity for recognizing those athletes who have worked hard to represent their schools.” At the University of Georgia, he won nine letters! He lettered in basketball — three times including the Gator Bowl Championship in 1957; swimming — three times including SEC championship in medley relays; track - three letters. He won the SEC championship in the high jump as a sophomore and junior, setting a school record of 6’ 4-1/2” and, in his senior year, he placed second. All of these accomplishments earned him the tremendous honor of being named Southeastern Conference “Best All-Around Athlete” both his junior and senior years. Sonny has been an outstanding example, teacher and coach to young people in the public schools of Georgia and in the summers at Athens YMCA Camp in Tallulah Falls.

21 WILLIAM TATE 1600 Meter Run William Tate Trophy This man did so much for others, received so much recognition and so many well-deserved honors that a summary here seems almost impossible. Most everyone in Georgia knew him as the Dean of Men at the University of Georgia or Professor at McCallie School in Chattanooga, or a fine speaker at any occasion, or good con- versationalist on any subject or just undoubtedly one of the nicest gentlemen that our Creator gave us the opportunity to know. Because of his inherent modesty, few people knew that he was a great athlete. Try these on: Southern Collegiate Mile Champion 1924-25; Southern AAU Mile Champion 1927; Southeastern Olympic Trials 3,000 Meter Champion 1928; set Georgia School 2-Mile Record of 10:07 in 1924; and Mile Record of 4:27 in 1926.

Coach Griffin not only produced many great teams while he was Head Track Coach, but he also helped to develop many outstanding athletes, many of whom are honored for their performance in this program He served on the National Track and Field Rules Committee and contributed much of his time, talents and efforts for better track programs through the state and country. Dean Griffin authored “Griffin, You’re A Great Disappointment to Me,” which reminisced through many years of association at Georgia Tech and the many great personalities at the school he loved. In the same way that George Griffin loved his institution and its people, the institution and its people love and respect him and his memory. It is an honor for this community to name the 400 Meter Relay trophy for this gentleman.

DEXTER FAULK Georgia has been fortunate to produce some of the best hurdlers in American track history. A name that stands out in track circles is former Stone Mountain star Dexter Faulk. After watching the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Faulk, then in the sixth grade, was inspired and took up track. He set the No. 2 all-time mark in the 110-meter hurdles at the 2002 Stephenson In- vitational and has since gone on to bigger and better things. In 2009, he won the silver medal at the World Athletics 110-meter hurdles. The same year Faulk won the 110-meter hurdles at two IAAF Golden League events in Berlin and Paris. Faulk recently turned in a blazing 60-meter indoor hurdles score that was his best time ever in the event.

TOTAL POINTS honorary meet director Hawthorne Wesley Long Time Board Member of Atlanta Track Club and Track Official

Hawthorne Wesley was outstanding as a track and field athlete but it has been his efforts since his running days that have helped to shape the running in the state of Georgia as we know it today. Wesley ran track and cross country at North Fulton High School and would go on to run at Auburn University. While with the Tigers, Wesley was a member of three SEC Championship teams. Following his time in Auburn, Wesley ran for the Atlanta Striders, a group founded by Buddy Fowlkes. Wesley would go on to found the Atlanta Track Club and serve on the Executive Board for 21 years. In 1968, Wesley served as the ATC’s president. He still works with the ATC to this day, heading the Atlanta Track Club’s high school awards program. He has seen every single Georgia Olympics, save one when he was in Yugoslavia. Wesley also serves USA Track & Field Georgia as chairman of the organization’s Hall of Fame selection committee following his induction. Wesley and his wife Betty have two children, Maria and Thorne. His son served his country honorably in Afghanistan.

33 CHARLIE BELCHER 400 Meter Dash Charlie Belcher Trophy Another fine American competitor to travel through Europe representing his country in fine style was Charlie Belcher. It all started at Georgia Tech in 1937, where, under Coach George Griffin, he developed into one of the nation’s best 440 men. For three years he won the SEC 440 Yard championship and, in the course of doing so, he set his school record of 46.7 which still stands. He was track captain in 1939 and on the side he won the SEC 220 Yard Low Hurdles and was champion of this event in 1938. Charlie Belcher had much talent and worked hard to become a great contributor to the earlier era of track. Yet, many, many years later, how many men have run 440 yards faster than Charlie’s best of 46.7? Not but a few. In 1937, Charlie was elected, because of his collegiate career, to represent the U.S.A. in Eu- ropean competition. He performed as expected — winning most and conducting himself as an outstanding gentleman from the State of Georgia.

37 SPEC TOWNS 110 Meter Hurdles Spec Towns Trophy Either wearing the red and black of his University or the red, white and blue of his country, Spec Towns was the talk of the track world during the era of 1934-37. Almost every time he ran, a record fell. He was SEC High Hurdles champ in 1936 with a record of 14.1, Olympic record of 14.1 in Berlin among Nazi antagonism, and the second Georgian to win a Gold Medal. No one really knows what Spec thought was his greatest show, but those that saw him do it rank his performance in that 1937 SEC Championship as his finest. Spec was first in the High Hurdles, first in the Low Hurdles, second in the High Jump, and third in the 100 yard dash. He left the High Jump to run the 100, went back to cleat 6’0”; left to set a record in the highs, promptly returned to high jump 6’2” and later won the Low Hurdles — what an athlete! Lest we forget, Spec also made his name in the days of cinder tracks, without starting blocks and running over hurdles made of 1x4’s mounted on an “A” frame. College and Olympic hurdles are 3” higher than high school hurdles, which also add to the impressive “fetes” of the great Spec Towns. Spec retired as track coach at the University of Georgia where he developed 18 SEC champions, many of whom are recognized in this program. In 1968, he was elected to Georgia Hall of Fame and the Helm’s Track and Field Hall of Fame. We salute a great athlete, who brought honor to his school, state and nation, and a great citizen, who by his leadership brought the best out of many others.

39 FREDDIE FREDERIKSON LESTER MICKENS 800 Meter Run Freddie Frederikson Trophy Lester Mickens, Co-Honoree This guy was awesome — not big, just plain “gutty.” Frederikson always did better than he could. Freddie won the 1500 meters at the Junior National Championship at Princeton in 1936 as a high school senior qualifying for U.S. Olympic Track team tryouts. In 1938, he won the SEC Lightweight Boxing Championship and was voted the meet’s outstanding boxer. He was captain of his team. But on the track, if you didn’t have at least 25% more natural talent — look out, he’d beat you. Ask anybody that ran the mile in the South during 1938, ’39 and ’40. Freddie was the champion. His best time as 4:22.0 and in the top 10 in the U.S.A. Lester Mickens, co-honoree of this event, was Best Performance Winner and record setter in Georgia Olympics IV & V. He was awarded the H. J. Stegeman Trophy in Georgia Olympic V.

41 PERRIN WALKER 200 Meter Dash Perrin Walker Trophy Perrin was one of the greats! From GMA he entered Georgia Tech and while there under the tutelage of George Griffin, he was a real versatile stalwart. His best at Tech: 100 Yard Dash 9.5; 200 Yard Dash 20.8; Broad Jump 23’ 6”; 440 Yard Dash 48.0; High Jump 6’3-1/2”; Shot Put 46’ 10”. He was Southeastern Conference champion in 1934, was named to the All-American team in 1937, after having won the national 100 Meter Dash at Milwaukee. This team toured Europe with meets in Swe- den, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Perrin was undefeated on the trip. His best 100 Meter Dash time was 10.4. In 1938, while competing in Chicago in the Daily News Meet, he set the world’s record for the indoor 60 Yard Dash of 6.1 seconds and was holder (later co-holder) of this record for 20 years. The summer of 1983 (51 years after the State 200 Record!), he competed in the Masters Southwestern Classic at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. In this meet, Perrin placed first in the 100 meters — 17.9 seconds, and first in the 200 meters — 39 seconds. He ran in the age group of 65-70. Perrin had a successful business career. He was the first to say that track meant a great deal to his life. He was honored with many medals and trophies, but in addition, track gave him opportunities to travel and, through his travel, many educational benefits came his way.

45 SAM BURKE 1600 Meter Relay Sam Burke Trophy Mention the name Sam Burke and you mention young people. For over 30 years, Samuel F. Burke served the Georgia High School Association as Executive Secretary. Mr. Burke served as a teacher, coach, principal and superintendent. He was 32nd degree KCCH of the Scottish Rite, and was active in church and community.

For 29 years, he was chairman of the High School Football Rules Committee. His lifetime membership in the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association and his appointment to the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame showed the high regard in which his colleagues held him. We appreciate the fine marks that Sam Burke left for the young people of this state.

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 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 afternoon at 12:00 p.m. Plaques for Saturday finals will be available shortly after the event. In Georgia Olympics, record plaques will be awarded for each performance that betters the existing record. If the existing record was set for English distance, the chart on the last page will be used to convert to metric. Obviously, if the existing record was set over a metric distance, the better time in Georgia Olympics will establish a new record. In the event hand-held watches must be relied upon because of automatic timing failure, the time will not be considered a record unless the .1 (1/10th) Sec is better than the automatic timing record time rounded to the nearest .1. (If hand-held time is 10.0, automatic timing record is 10.1, hand-held time ties the record; if automatic timing record is 10.06, the hand- held time of 10.0 would be a new record - 10.0 vs. 10.6 rounded to 10.1).

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 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 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 af- ternoon 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 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.

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 Direc- tor 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.
