Sikes Eagles Third In State Class C Track;  Sprinter Roger Parker Wins Three
1st Places


Sikes' swift Eagles were plucked thoroughly by Roanoke and Loranger at the
State Class C Track Meet at Northwestern State Friday, but sprinter Roger
Parker emerged the meet iron man carrying away three first place events.

Parker completely outclassed the field in the 100 and 220 sprints making the
century in 10.1 and the longer run in 22.1.  He sailed 21-4 ª in the broad
jump and ran a splendid anchor leg in the 440 relay in which Sikes finished
second to the winners.

done at the regional meet where first place winners in each event are entered
in state.  Sikes had no entries in the 880 relay, shot put, discus, nor triple
jump.

Bobby Lashley of Atlanta ran a strong half mile (2:13.0) and came in third
behind Roger Dupont of Roanoke.

Herman Trichel of Goldonna was second in the mile won by Ken Theriot, St.
Bernard of Breaux Bridge in 4:39.0.
