MEET ANN ARBOR HIGH'S TRACK CHAMPS: For several years The News has honored the city's championship high school teams by printing pictures of the squad which took the title. Here, then, is the squad which holds this year's Five-A League and regional track championship. Some of its members today were competing at Ferry Field in the State Class A title meet. Those above who failed to qualify for today's competition were on hand to cheer. The squad members, left to right, in each instance: BOTTOM ROW - Assistant Coach Hank Fonde, Prenty Ware, Chuck Morton, Jack Newman, Don Franklin, Coleman Jewett, Co-Capts. Bob Barr and Bill Newman, Art Preston, Bob Winder, and Coach Tim Ryan. SECOND ROW - Joe Bone, Bruce Rockman, Harry Haas, Bill Koch, Dick Mayers, Don Koch, Bob Hensen, Dick Sleet, Harry Shore, and Hugh Correll. THIRD ROW - Manager Jerry Waxman, Art Clark, Jim Ritchie, Milt Theros, Marv Baker, Duane Calvert, Mike Berg, and Hathaway Gulley. FOURTH ROW - Manager Don Thomas, Pete Gilbert, Bob Evans, Jerry Leith, Stewart May, Tom Leith, Howard Reidell, and Bob Wright. The Leith twins, transfer students from U high at midyear, were not eligible for competition this spring but trained with the rest to keep in shape for next year's campaigning.

UNBEATEN PIONEERS TO SEEK STATE TRACK TITLE: Ann Arbor high's unbeaten track team will seek the state scholastic Class A title at East Lansing tomorrow in competition with 35 Class A schools.

Ann Arbor High Dedicates Record Board to Former Track and Field Coach Tim Ryan, July 1966 Photographer: Eck Stanger

Year:
1966
Published In:
Ann Arbor News, July 6, 1966
Caption:
Former Track Coach Honored: Tim Ryan (center), Ann Arbor High track coach who served the school for 38 years from 1926 to 1964, looks over the recently placed record board dedicated in his honor. Ryan coached several of the finest cinder squads in Michigan prep history and during the late 40's and early 50's compiled an amazing record of 45 victories in 46 dual meets. At left is Frank Kline, Ann Arbor High athletic director, and at right is Jim Love, the present track coach who succeeded Ryan in 1964. The board bears the name Pioneer High as a result of the Board of Education's decision to rename Ann Arbor High in view of the planned construction of a second high school which will be named Huron High.
