Mark Bourland starts double with win in 100
Pregeant Places Sixth
In Regional 880, Mile
DENTON — Angela
Pregeant placed sixth in
both the 880 and mile in the
regional track meet Satur-
day to highlight Burleson
Elkettes efforts.
The rest of her teammates
were eliminated in
preliminaries Friday but
most turned in their best
times of the season.
“That’s the way it should
be,’’ said Coach Elaine
Frerking. “I’m pleased with
all their efforts.”
Pregeant ran a 2:26 880,
slightly slower than the time
she ran in preliminaries but
improved her mile time by
about a second to 5:31.
“I was real pleased with
her performance and I think
she was, too,” Frerking
said.
Most of the Elkettes had
their best performances Fri-
day but failed to make it to
the finals.
Debbie Muggli ran just
over a minute in the 440,
Lisa Barr had her best of
26.02 in the 220 and Amy
Worsham went just over 16
feet in the long jump.
The 880 Relay team of
Worsham, Muggli, Ruthie
Hindman and Barr ran a
1:49-flat and the mile relay
of Treaon Martin, Tracey
Alligood, Hindman and
Muggli ran 4:12.8.
By the end of Friday’s
running, District 4A-8 cham-
pion Arlington had no one in
Saturday’s finals.
Bowie’s Carla Snodgrass
failed to place in the 100 and
hurdles but Dana
Beckelman of Richland did
place second in the shot put
to qualify for state.
She failed to qualify for
state in the discus and team-
mate Carrie Marlarkey fail-
ed to make a return to state
in the mile.

when they got on the track.
Junior Mark Bourland
made the most brilliant
streak, winning the 100 and
200 meter dashes and an-
choring the second place
sprint relay team.

BOURLAND’S EFFORTS
helped the Elks to fourth
place overall in the meet
with an effort Coach Benny
Rupprecht called super.
“All but about four of
them on the entire team im-
proved on their best effort in
the meet here,” Rupprecht
said. “You can’t ask for
much more than that.”
John Lewis was the bright
spot for the Elks in Friday’s
field events as he picked up
a second place in the long
jump with a 22-3 leap and
became the first from
Burleson to earn a berth in
the regional meet.
Mike Cummins got a fifth
in the high jump at 6-0 for
the only other field event
points.

BOURLAND QUALIFIES
for regional in both the 100
and 200 and the sprint relay
team of Danny Ikeler,
Travis Warren, Ward
Whites and Bourland will
also go to regional.
Perhaps all dreams of an
Elk district title were gone
when field event totals fell
short but Burleson did well
in the well-stocked track
district.
Hopes lifted with the se-
cond place in the sprint
relay but the Elks’ usually
prolific half milers couldn’t
score in the event Arlington
dominated.
Barry Hutson made it to
the finals in the 110-meter
high hurdles but failed to
place and the Elks watched
the rest of the league run the
440.
But Bourland was
superior in the 100, winning
in 11.1.
Burleson got another lift
when Ward Whites finished
fourth in the 330 hurdles in a
40.1 time but he was dis-
qualified because judges
said he side straddled a hur-
dle.

BOURLAND AGAIN

winning the 200 in 22.71 to
put Burleson in fourth place
in team standings.
Jerry Messer withstood
Arlington’s distance power
and took fourth in the 1600
meters, by far his best all
year.
At first it seemed the pole
vault, which started an hour
before the running would
delay the end of the meet but
that didn’t happen.
Instead a protest on a foul
made the decision on how
teams placed in the mile
relay the last event to be an-
nounced.
Lamar was disqualified
for a foul and Burleson was
elevated from seventh to
sixth in the event and from
fifth to fourth in team stan-
dings.

THE TWO POINTS the
Elk mile relay team gained
helped make up for the four
they lost when Whites was
disqualified.
Whites anchored the mile
relay that was also run by
Chris Rightmer, Jason Jor-
dan and Warren.
While most of the
Burleson underclassmen
are on the varsity track
team, the Elks managed to
put another quartet together
to finish sixth in the junior
varsity sprint relay in 47.6.
Relay members were Scott
Okvath, Larry Lancaster,
Stuart Gillaspie and Terry
Brown.
The Elks had 53 points to
finish just a step ahead V
Arlington Bowie. Richland
won its seventh title in eigjit
years (Burleson interupted
the string four years agp)
with 119 points and Haltptn
was second with 112. Arl-
ington was third with 81 a^d
Sam Houston had 43 Arid
Lamar ended up with 36. f

The Key Is
Education.

Bob Glasgow is committed to
sustaining high quality education
in our district and in our state. The
future of our young people
depends on the education they
receive. Our teachers and our
institutions of higher learning are
doing a tremendous job under
the circumstances. But they
need help. They need an active
commitment from the legislature
to maintain educational
standards. Bob Glasgow
intends to give our schools and
colleges that commitment. Bob
Glasgow understands that the key
is education.
LYNN HOFFMAN
Lynn Hoffman is peeking over a six and half pound black
beauty he caught at Lake Whitney last Tuesday. The black
bass was caught on a plastic lizard in shallow water Lynn
also had six other bass to top the scales at 26 pounds.
LAKE WHITNEY STRIPER RECORD
T.R. Perez of Cleburne broke his own Lake Whitney
striped bass record last Monday when he caught a 26 pound
six ounce striper while bank fishing at Lofers Bend Park
with a Bagley shallow-diving shad. Perez’s previous record
was a 25Vi pound striper he caught below the Whitney Dam.
SANDIES RUNNING
Sandbass have provided lots of action on Lake Whitney the
past week with catches coming in from the Brazos River and
from the main lake area. Most of the fish are being caught
on white jigs and plastic grubs.
To find sandbass I suggest trolling a deep diving lure with
a white jig trailing about 18 to 24 inches back. Once located,
try jigging for the sandbass with grubs, slabs, spoons and
small flea flies. White and chrome baits work best at Lake
Whitney. Sandbass can provide lots of excitement, especial-
ly if you’re using the ultra-light tackle.
WATER ELEVATION
The water level at Lake Whitney was 523.48 feet above sea
level or about 10 feet below normal. Surface temperature
was in the mid-fifties last week.
