In a project I am currently working on I noticed that a lot of school records had been set before 1980 and have not been surpassed since.
Check them out.
Ten schools had their discus record set more than 40 years ago.
Nine schools had their Mile Relays and long jumps set more than 40 years ago.
Jerry Siebert above set Willits 2 lap record back in 1956.
Sonoma Valley’s Frank Freeman set their long jump record in 1939 at 23-10.
Schools with five or more records set before 1980.
11 of Analy’s 16 events has their school records being established before 1980.
