Jack Mashin coached football at Grossmont from 1925-47 and posted an excellent record, 125-66-19 (.644), but he became more known as an international figure in track and field.

Mashin would, under auspices of the U.S. State Department, coach the first Pakistan Olympic team in 1956 in Melbourne, Australia, and his decades-long success at Grossmont led to the friendly mentor’s legendary appellation, the “Fox of the Foothills”.

From 1950-57 Grossmont produced eight shot putters who reached at least 54-feet, 6 inches; two who hit at least 60 feet, and several others of at least 50 feet.

Clyde Wetter (58-4 ¾, 1951) and Hal Norris (58-2 1/2, 1950) now were in college and sophomore Dick Bronson, who had a best of 46-9 ½ in his first meet this season, was going to eventually produce similar results under Mashin’s guidance.

Mashin, whose teams won 143 league championships in all sports at Grossmont from 1923-59, continued to work with weight men as an assistant coach/consultant at Grossmont and was coaching at Cal Western University in San Diego and at Grossmont College well into his eighties.

Mashin also refereed many Hoover-San Diego football battles and  thousands of games in football and basketball.

Parker’s teammate, Hubert Smith, lowered his area lead in the 440 to :51.9.

The short end of a 64-40 team score didn’t diminish the individual accomplishments of Point Loma’s Lincoln Lucero, who topped the San Diego hurdlers, winning the 120 highs in :15.3 and the 180 lows in a school record, season best :20.2.

Point Loma’s Lance Morton set a school record with a 51-3 ¼ shot put.

CITY PREP LEAGUE, @SAN DIEGO STATE

Writer Gene Earl of The San Diego Union described the conditions at San Diego State as a “biting and oft-time strong wind (that) razored across the Montezuma oval.”

The hefty breezes affected many performances, but favored San Diego still outlasted Grossmont for the team title, 53-49 ½.  Grossmont won Class B and Kearny Class C.

San Diego’s Walter (Red) Taylor battled the wind in the 100 and edged Grossmont’s Bert Kohnhurst in :10.1.  Kohnhurst won the 220 in :22 after Taylor withdrew, complaining of a stomach ache.

Grossmont led, 48 ½ to 48, but finished fifth in the final event 880-yard relay, won by the Cavers in 1:32.8.

John Rushing figured in 18 of Kearny’s 35 points, winning the high (:15.8) and low hurdles (:20.6), placing second to the 23-6 broad jump of San Diego’s John Parker, and anchoring the Komets to second place in the relay.

5/3/52

San Diego led all teams with 10 qualifiers in the Divisional quarterfinals at San Diego State, but junior Lanny Carter of Orange made the headlines with a Southern Section record of :48.9 in the 440 around two turns.

Some quarter miles began in a chute and covered only one turn, at about the 220-yard mark.  Carter bettered the record of :49.2 by Duane Lewis of Compton in 1940.

John Rushing doubled in the high and low hurdles in :15.2 and :20.1, respectively, and Bert Kohnhurst doubled in the 100 and 220 in :10.1 and :22. John Parker of San Diego set a County record of 23-9 1/2 in the broad jump and broke a school record of 23-8 he set earlier.

San Diego’s Bernard Hanson won the 880 in 2:01.6 and defeated reigning Southern Section champion Bob Suess of Huntington Beach.

5/10/52

Walter Taylor won his heat in :10.0 and ran a leg on the relay as the San Diego squad of Taylor, John Parker, Jon Taylor, and Hubert Smith posted the fastest heat, 1:30.5, in the Divisional semifinal meet at Ontario Chaffey.

Grossmont’s Burt Kohnhurst, one of the favorites, finished a nonqualifying third in his heat, won by George Lewis of El Monte in :09.8.

Kohnhurst recovered to win a 220 heat in :21.7. San Diego’s Bernard Hansen won his 880 heat in 2:02.5 and Kearny’s John Rushing won a heat in the 180-yard low hurdles in :19.7 after failing to qualify in the 120 highs.

Rushing also was third at 22-1 in the broad jump and San Diego’s John Parker fifth at 21-6 ½.

Grossmont’s Tommy George doubled in  the Class B sprints, winning his heats in :10.2 and :22.5.

Five qualified, including Hoover’s Bernie Nelson, at 5-10 in the high jump, and five made the finals in the pole vault, including Jim Terry of Helix at 11-9 ½.

5/24/51

The 34^th state meet was held at the Los Angeles Coliseum. County athletes barely avoided a shutout.

Walter Taylor was fourth in his heat in the 100 in :10.2 but did not place in the afternoon finals.  John Rushing of Kearny was fourth in the broad jump at 22-8 ¾.

SAY, AREN’T YOU?

Grossmont coach Jack Mashin need not have asked that question. Mashin was well acquainted, with the shot putter from a school almost 300 miles away.

Jay Humphrey of Strathmore in the Central Section had attended and competed at Grossmont but transferred to the Northern community for his senior year and finished third at 58 feet, 4 inches, behind the 60-9 1/8, national record by Leon Patterson of Taft.

 

 

 

 

Martin Pedigo, a former University of Oregon broad jumper, became the San Diego High coach and inherited a potential powerhouse.

The Cavers, representative of one of the state’s great programs—184-30-2 in dual meets since 1929—were 14-7  under longtime assistant Henry Wiegand and hadn’t beaten Lincoln, their latest rival, since 1959.

Wiegand deserved another year. Coincidentally, Pedigo, the seventh to occupy the position since Glenn Broderick took over in 1927, was married to a former Cavers cheerleader and student leader that Pedigo met at Oregon.

STATE GETS LARGER

The state meet, in its 45th year,  became a two-day event and was more popular than ever. A crowd of 14,000 watched the final day at Edwards Field on the University of California campus in Berkeley..

Read down until you reach the Eastern League trials and finals in B and C field events.  An interesting name emerges.

Plus, take in a season of terrific performances, particularly by the San Diego High 880-yard  relay squad of Walter Blackledge, Gordon Baker, Raymond Dixon, and Charles Sanford, and the explosive arrival of junior Bob Hose in the 880-yard run for first-year Madison.

2/27/63

San Diego opened with a 63-41, dual-meet win at Granite Hills, winning nine of 12 events.

Lloyd Walker (120 high hurdles, :15, and high jump, 6 feet 2 inches) and Charles Sanford (100-yard dash, :10, and 180 low hurdles, :20.1) won two events each and teamed on a winning 880-yard relay team, 1:33.1.

3/1/63

Hilltop looked like a solid contender in the Metropolitan League, having won a nonleague dual with La Jolla, 64-40, as Darrell Dunafon clocked 1:58.9 in the 880.  John Miller set a La Jolla shot put record of 54-8 ½.

3/2/63

Compton Centennial made its almost annual trip South for a quadrangular meet with San Diego (45), Grossmont (35), and Lincoln (22).

Coach Bill Gill’s Apaches had 46 points, but San Diego won the big races. Charles Sanford took the 100 in :09.8, Gordon Baker the 440 in :50.4, and Robert Wash and Raymond Dixon joined Baker and Sanford in a :1:29.2 880 relay win.

Crawford won a dual with Grossmont League power El Cajon Valley, 53-51, by winning the relay in 1:32.8.

Steve Weston doubled for the Braves in the high hurdles (:14.9) and low hurdles (20.7).  Bill Sanders (:10.2, :22.7) doubled for Crawford and was on the relay team and Rick Herrmann turned in a :50.8 in the 440.

—Tom Agsten doubled at Clairemont with a :09.7 100 and :50 flat 440 and Eddy Hanks high jumped 6-2 ½ in Hoover’s 75 ½-28 ½ victory.

—Versatile Bob Hose won the 440 in :52.9 and 120 high hurdles in :16.4 and was second in the broad jump but St. Augustine, behind Henry Daniels’ :09.8 and :23.1 sprint victories won, 65-38.

3/15/63

Tom Agsten of Hoover set a County record of :49.0 in the 440 and raced to :09.9 100 victory as Hoover beat Point Loma, 64-40.

Coronado’s Scott Knox held the 440 record of :49.2, set in the 1961 San Diego Section meet and San Diego’s Norman Stocks ran :49.3 in the Southern Section meet in 1946.

3/26/63

Martin Koenekamp set a Helix record of 1:56.3 in the 880 as the Highlanders defeated El Capitan, 79-25. Two months later, in the Section meet, Koenekamp’s teammate, Don (Flash) Gordon also clocked 1:56.3.

3/30/63

Hoover coach Raleigh Holt might have been accused of stacking his entry list and  going for the rare shutout.

The Cardinals scored a 103-1 dual meet victory over Morse.  A Hoover Class C pole vaulter, Hirata, was elevated to the varsity and won his event and set a C record of 12-2.

Morse’s only point was a third place in the 100-yard dash.

—San Diego took a huge step towards its first Eastern League dual-meet title since 1959, 64-40 over Lincoln, which had won the last three.

Lloyd Walker high jumped 6-3 ½ and won the 120 highs in :14.7 and the Cavers swept the Hornets in the sprints, 18-0, as Charles Sanford won the 100 in :09.9 and Raymond Dixon the 220 in :22.2 in a track that had been slowed by recent rain.

3/31/63

San Diego, Lincoln, and Granite Hills each won team championships in the National City Junior Chamber of Commerce Relays at Sweetwater.

The eighth annual event, delayed a week by rain, saw six records broken.

Large Schools Division winner San Diego outscored Grossmont, 45-42, followed by Hoover, 25, Crawford, 22, El Capitan, 21, Helix, 19, and Point Loma and Mount Miguel, 17 each.

Lincoln had 44 points, El Cajon Valley 36, Chula Vista 33, Hilltop 32, Escondido 25, Kearny 15, Clairemont, and St. Augustine 12 among medium schools.

Granite Hills outdistanced the small schools’ field with 50 ½ points, followed by Coronado, 35, La Jolla, 31 ½, Sweetwater, 30 1/3, Mar Vista, 24, Monte Vista, 19, and Mission Bay, 13 2/3.

Grossmont’s Phil Napierski high jumped 6-4 and El Cajon Valley’s Steve Weston ran :14.8 in the 120-yard high hurdles. Three records were set in relays events, which later were not recognized after the Sweetwater track was discovered to be approximately 3 yards short of a 440-yard oval.

Helix’ record 10:36.1 in the distance medley, 440, 880, 1320, and mile.  Those distances required 10 trips around the oval, thus about 30 yards short of the official distance.

Bogus records also were set in the 880 and Mile relays and mile run.

4/3/63

Madison’s Bob Hose, who had run hurdles and broad jumped, won his 880-yard specialty in 2:00.7.  Hose, competing for Clairemont as a sophomore in 1962, had finished fourth in the San Diego Section finals with a best time of 1:58.8.

Hose also took thirds in the high hurdles and broad jump but Point Loma won the Western League dual, 84-20.

4/6/63

—James Kennedy of Lincoln upped his San Diego Section lead in the broad jump to 23 feet, 9 inches.

—Gary Hafner set school records of :49.7 in the 440 and 22-9 ½ in the broad jump and won the 220 in  Helix’ pivotal Grossmont League triumph against visiting Grossmont, 53-51.

—Dave Funderburk, a sophomore at Vista, ran 4:27.7 in the mile, a class record.

4/6/63

Bob Hose broke two minutes for the first time with his 1:59.9 in Madison’s 80-23 loss at Kearny.

4/14/63

Seven meet records were set at the San Diego Relays in Balboa Stadium, most notable the three-man high jump in which San Diego jumpers cleared a cumulative height of 18-8 ½.

The 6-5 ¼ by Tom Maloy, 6-3 ½ by Lloyd Walker and 6-0 by Willie Steel was a foot higher than the record.

Paul Manning led a Grossmont team to 38 feet with a 13-6 pole vault (matched by Escondido’s Bob Good). James Kennedy led 3 Lincoln broad jumpers to a combined 66-3 ½.

Four Helix milers averaged 4:58.7 and they set a 4-mile record of 18:34.8.

Lloyd Walker of San Diego posted a record, :14.5 in the high hurdles and San Diego ran: 42.5 and 1:28.0 in the 440 and 880 baton races.

The anticipated 100-yard dash was marked by a disqualification after two false starts by St. Augustine’s Henry Daniels, who earlier won a heat in :09.9.  Crawford’s Bill Sanders got the best of San Diego’s Charles Sanford in the final in :09.8.

5/1/63

A gusty breeze pushed St. Augustine’s Henry Daniels to a :09.5 100 and :21.4 220.  Granite Hills won a 220 duel at Helix from the Highlanders’ Gary Hafner.  Eckhardt ran :21.1, Hafner :21.3.

Madison’s Bob Hose logged a :50.5 440 and won the high hurdles in :16.1 and Mission Bay’s Bob Getzen broke the school mile record for the second time, 4:28.2.

Bill Trujillo set a Kearny record with a 4:27.8 mile and La Jolla found a challenger for John Miller in the shot put.  Holland Seymore reached 52-5 5/8.

Escondido’s Ed Mathews ran a 1:57.7 880 at Sweetwater.

5/4/63

Henry Daniels beat Charles Sanford in a :09.9 100 and Gordon Baker ran the Balboa Stadium curve in :21.6 as San Diego beat the Saints, 68-36.

—Crawford’s Bill Sanders got into the act at Morse with a windy :09.6 100 and Sanders’ Crawford teammate Rick Herrmann took the 440 in :49.7 in the Colts’ 85-19 breeze.

—Madison’s Bob Hose clocked 1:59.1 in the 880, but saw his school mile record of 4:45 bettered by teammate Loeber, who ran 4:38.7 in an 83-21 loss to big brother Clairemont.

5/8/63

Trials in the Eastern, Western, and Metropolitan leagues saw several season bests and included records in lower classes.

San Diego’s Walter Blackledge won a windy heat in the 220 at Morse in :20.8, and Gordon Baker won the following heat in :21.1.

A wind gauge was on hand and the usual breeze actually was measured at less than the allowable 4.447 miles per hour when the Cavers’ Lloyd Walker set a record in the high hurdles, :14.4.

It seemed of no great importance when a Class C high jump record was made at 5 feet, 10 inches.

Who won the event made the jump noteworthy. The winner was Morse sophomore Arnie Robinson, who would go on to win the 1980 Olympics long jump gold medal.

Robinson also won the San Diego Section title in the C high jump at 5-10, but would finish fourth in the broad jump, won by Point Loma’s Earle Lott, who set a record of 21-10 5/8.

5/11/63

EASTERN LEAGUE FINALS, @BALBOA STADIUM

The season was replete with outstanding performances in almost every event, so Charles Sanford’s :09.7 100 was almost almost routine.

Sanford also set a record in the 180-yard low hurdles (:19.4) and anchored the relay team to a 1:27.7 clocking, the fourth fastest in County history.

San Diego won six events and scored 73 points.  Lincoln was runner-up with 41, followed by Hoover 35 ½, Crawford 32 ½, St. Augustine 10, and Morse 1.

5/19/63

SAN DIEGO SECTION TRIALS,@BALBOA STADIUM

Seventeen records in Classes A, B, and C were set as the Trials moved to Balboa Stadium, where there was less intrusion from the breezes at Kearny, site of the 1961 and ’62 trials and finals.

Seven Class A records, beginning with the :14.4 Oceanside’s Mike Swaim logged in the high hurdles, first event of the day, set the pace. Swaim handed San Diego’s Lloyd Walker his first defeat.

Bill Sanders of Crawford ran a :09.8 100, Tom Agsten of Hoover a :48.5 440, Darrel Dunafon of Hilltop a 4:23.3 mile, Charles Sanford of San Diego, a :19.3 in the low hurdles, and James Kennedy of Lincoln, a 23-9 ½ broad jump.

The day concluded with San Diego tying a County record with a 1:27.2 880 relay.

5/23/63

San Diego Section weight specialists conducted finals in the discus, an event the Southern Section put on hiatus from 1933-48 and contested by area athletes infrequently and usually in unofficial competition until the San Diego Section was formed and made the discus an official but non-scoring event in 1961.

The discus’ high school weight is 3.9 pounds.  In earlier years athletes used an Olympic-sized platter of 4.64 pounds.

A non-scoring competition was held at San Diego State for purposes of choosing a state meet qualifier.

An athlete from the city’s Western League, Point Loma’s John Bishop, won at 145 feet, 11 inches, followed by Grossmont’s Richard Grise at 145-3 1/2.

Grossmont League schools, with much larger athletic venues would, for several years, make the discus an official event in dual meets.  City schools did not have discus competition.

5/25/63

SAN DIEGO SECTION FINALS, @BALBOA STADIUM

Twelve records were broken in Varsity, B, and C, and San Diego ran away with the varsity team titled with 42 points to Lincoln’s 25, Grossmont’s 20, and Crawford’s 15.

San Diego’s Charles Sanford set a record in the 100-yard dash, :09.6, and was involved in tying two others, :19.3 low hurdles, and 1:27.2 relay.

The Cavers won two additional events:120-yard highs (Lloyd Walker, :14.5), and 220 (Gordon Baker, :21.7).

Madison’s Bob Hose continued to lower his best time in the 880, beating a class field in 1:54.9.  Lincoln’s Raymond Darrough followed in 1:56.2 and Helix’ Don Gordon was next in 1:56.3.

Eddy Hanks of Hoover and Tom Maloy of San Diego tied at 6-5 in the high jump but Hanks won with fewer misses.

Lincoln’s James Kennedy, who won the state meet at 24-5 ¾ in 1962, reached 24 feet, 1/2 inch for a meet record, and got the Section’s only spot in the state meet after Kennedy held off Point Loma’s Lyle Schaefer, who jumped over a towel placed in the pit and made 23-11 ¾. Kennedy became the third Lincoln broad jumper to hit 24 feet.  Luther Hayes did 24-1/8 in 1956 and Kenny Tucker, 24-3/4 in 1959.

5/31/63

45TH STATE TRIALS,@BERKELEY

Eleven individual winners from the San Diego Section, including members of the San Diego High 880-yard relay team, arrived at Edwards Field on the University of California campus in Berkeley and qualified in 10 of 13 events.

Bob Hose of Madison ran the third fastest 880 in County history. His time of 1:52.8, behind only the 1:52.7 by Mission Bay’s Jim Cerveny on this same track and same meet in 1957 and Hoover’s John Garrison, who ran 1:52.7 at the 1962 state meet.

Hose trailed Whittier Lowell favorite Dennis Carr, whose 1:52 in the same heat with Hose, was one-tenth of a second off the national record set by Bonita’s Ray Van Asten in 1960.

San Diego was in tough in the relay heats.  The Cavers ran 1:27.1 but were second to Los Angeles Manual Arts’ 1:26.7 and just in front of L.A. Jefferson (1:27.4) and L.A. High (1:27.5).

Hilltop’s Darrel Dunafon’s qualifying 4:19.6 mile was the second fastest in County history to Jack Hudson’s 4:16.7 in the 1959 state meet.

The only nonqualifiers were San Diego’s Lloyd Walker (high hurdles) and Gordon Baker (220) and Point Loma’s John Bishop (discus).

6/1/63

STATE FINALS

San Diego High executed an almost perfect race, winning the 880-yard relay in 1:26.3, 4/10 seconds off the national record by L.A. Jefferson in 1956.

Not far behind in all-time performances was the 880 run by Madison’s Bob Hose.

The Cavers surprised the field and their half-mile, two-lap odyssey represented a perfect exchange of batons after taking the lead from the outset.

Running in lane 1, not the best starting position, Walter Blackledge got out quickly and forged a lead with a :22 flat leg.

Gordon Baker maintained with a :21.4 second lap and handed the stick and a three-yard lead and the pole position to Raymond Dixon.

With the posse in hot pursuit Dixon held the lead with a :21.6 leg.

Charles Sanford, who had been unplaced in the 100 and low hurdles finals, finished with a :21.3 and with room to spare ahead of Manual Arts, second in 1:26.8.

Bob Hose, who came into the meet with a best time of 1:54.9, completed two hard days and a stunning, personal  improvement of three seconds.

Lowell’s Dennis Carr set a national record of 1:50.9 and Hose bettered the previous record of 1:51.9 with a 1:51.7 finish.

Grossmont’s Paul Manning, third at 14 feet, 4 inches, in the pole vault, and defending broad jump champion James Kennedy, fourth at 23-9 ¾, were the other scorers from the San Diego Section.

San Diego Section teams won two of seven Southern California championship basketball games.

Mater Dei defeated host Mission Hills Bishop Alemany, 56-42, in Division II-AA and Rancho Bernardo topped visiting San Pedro Mary Star of the Sea, 72-44, in D-IIIAA.

The Crusaders were a No. 5 seed and Alemany No. 2.  Rancho Bernardo was a 2 seed against its 4-seed visitors from the area near the Palos Verdes peninsula.

School is out but there’s a sense of great accomplishment around Mater Dei’s Chula Vista campus.  The boys also won, defeating Fresno Central, 67-50.

El Camino suffered a three-point loss to higher seed Studio City Westlake Village and Victory Christian lost by four to higher seed Corcoran, which traveled more than 300 miles.

Memories-for-a-lifetime victories and crushing defeats summed up the pandemic-altered San Diego Section season.

The big one eluded 30-1 Torrey Pines in the Open Division final, a 68-65 loss to Etiwanda, but area teams won 6 of 9 championships, a stunning accomplishment considering San Diego’s generally unsuccessful runs in Southern California postseason competition.

There should be a special “hat’s off” to:

–Mater Dei coach Jayson Bryant, who coached his second team to a state championship. Bryant was the Lincoln Hornets’ boss in 2009-10, when that 29-2 squad led by Norman Powell and Victor Dean,  defeated Mountain View St. Francis, 74-59, for the Division II championship.

–Santa Fe Christian, beaten by St. Augustine, 71-65, in the San Diego Open Division  title game, won three Southern California D-I games over Northridge Heritage Christian Carlsbad, and Mission Viejo Capistrano Valley.

–Sage Creek, 11-11 entering the San Diego Section tournament, won  its last 6, finishing with a 73-54 triumph over Fresno Roosevelt in D-VAA.

–San Ysidro, invited to the playoffs after Cathedral and Mission Bay bailed, topped Temecula Linfield Christian, 73-71, in D-IVAA.
