Viking_Yearbook_62

The Portland State College track team, stronger in the field but building in the middle distance events, won its share of meets this year against improved competition. The cindermen of Coach Ralph Davis faced stiffer going in the Ore­ gon Collegiate Conference but man­ aged to tem per the loss of last season's outstanding distance men by coupling the exploits of veteran Stan Miller with the fine efforts of a number of new team-mates. Miller assumed his usual role as top point­ getter for the Vikings, racking up impressive showings in the shot­ put, discus, high jump and javelin. Sophomore Jim Cochran, piling up most of his points on second and third place finishes, nearly matched Miller for versatility. Rounding out the top scorers were weightman Loren Remy and freshman sprinter Jeff Sachtler.
