2009 TRACK & FIELD STATE MEET STAT BOOK UP TO AND INCLUDING PERFORMANCES IN THE 2008 STATE MEET IOWA HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BOONE, IOWA PREFACE For the past 31 years, the IHSAA has published this book. It represents the research and organization of many people who have been at the forefront and behind-the-scenes of Iowa prep track and field. While this book identifies mainly the past team and event champions, it also represents the IHSAA’s admiration and respect for all of the athletes, coaches, of ficials, and administrators who have nurtured our track and field program to the status it currently enjoys. We hope that as you read the names you will recognize former Olympians - including champions and medal winners, collegiate champions, All-Americans, American and world record holders, collegiate and professional athletes in other sports, and a countless number of successful individuals in all walks of life each who has breathed life into the IHSAA credo of “Sportsmanship and Citizenship.” To no one’s surprise the same is true of the near champions, other place winners and participants who are not found on the following pages, but share in the ltradition of greatness known as Iowa high school track and field. Each remains a hometown champion and hero because of his sacrifice and dedication. That is the legacy that in 2009 is in its 104th year and serves as a strong testimonial of the wonderful experience of being a high school athlete. To these people, their coaches,A THANKand the fans YOU of Iowa TO high ALL school athletics we are indebted! Our thanks to the late Tom Barker of the Des Moines Register, Terry Hersom of the Sioux City Journal, the sports deparetments of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, Quad City Times, Dennis Johnson of the Des Moines Schools, Jim Young, formerly of Waterloo and who has researched many track and field meets; and Paul Morrison of Drake University plus many coaches, athletic directors, administrators in our schools, fans, and our great friend - the late Mike Henderson, for their efforts in helping us make this book complete. This year’s edition represents our most thorough history of team and event champions. Many of the names of the event champions have been resolved with less than 10 first names now missing. Those who read this book should know that we always welcome corrections. We are continuing our research for the names of the runners of winning relays teams. We currently have most of them from 1955-2007 but those from 1905-1954 are difficult to find. We hope schools and local media can assist us. In coming years we will try to chronicle the history of the champions at the State Indoor Meet, held from 1926 until 1973. We invite you also to review the information contained on the track page of our website <www.iahsaa.org>. The archives contain an all-time best list of performances. We welcome corrections in that list. As we receive verification of performances we may have missed they are added. Times that appear in hundreths are fully- automatic as they are in this book. Other performances are rounded up to the nearest tenth in accordance with official track and field timing procedures. This State Meet Stat Book, like many others we produce, is updated annually and available in PDF format on our website. We take measures to try and improve the quality and accuracy of the information each year. However, with nearly 6,500 names of athletes and schools plus performances, an error(s) in spelling, a typo or an inaccuracy can occur. If you discover any please contact Bud Legg at the IHSAA by e-mail at [email protected] or by regular mail: Bud Legg; IHSAA; PO Box 10; Boone, IA 50036-0010.
