1957 Track & Field

Coach Walt Price’s 1957 men’s track team captured the Washington state junior college title after completing its most successful regular season in the program’s history.  Led by Tony Softli, Paul Aleinikoff, and Jerry Solie, the team claimed victories in the Centralia Invitational, the Skagit Invitational, and won the conference’s north region title prior to the state competition.  In the state championship meet, Softli won the broad jump and low hurdles, and Aleinikoff won the 220 with a time of 22.2 seconds.  Solie, Percy Baugness, John Robinson, Ron Swanson, and Larry Pollard all placed in individual events which contributed to the team 36 ¼ points, just edging out second place Olympic College (35 points).
