1966 Yearbook
Description
TEAM SETS NEW SCHOOL RECORDS
"Youth" seemed to be the answer for the success of
Bees' harriers this season. Coach Roy Owen relied
heavily on underclassmen to put together the most successful track team in St. Ambrose College history.
The team began its season early in January when
they travelled to Chicago to take part in an indoor meet
against the University of Chicago and Bradley University. The Bees came away with a win over Bradley and
a loss to Chicago. They rounded out their indoor season
with losses against Western Illinois, Coe, and Loras.
The Cindermen came to life when the outdoor season began. Led by veterans Bill Fulton and Joe Cervantes and Ron Schachel, and Freshmen Monroe Keys
and Jim Collins, the Bees won three out of their four
dual meets.
The highlight of the season was a 90-46 win over
Augustana College. The Bees had a hand in wrecking
ten meet records as the two schools renewed athletic
relationships, after a 17-year layoff.
St. Ambrose won ten out of 16 events in this meet,
losing only in the distance runs, the hurdles, the discus,
and the high jump.
Ron Schachel, junior, set meet records in the 100 yard
dash (10 flat) and 220 yard dash (21.7) and anchored-in

record-winning relay teams in the 440 (43.1) and mile
(3.21.9).
School records and meet records went to Schachel
in the 220, to Don Krebs in the pole vault (12-6) and
to the 440 and mile teams. The team also had time to
travel to the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. In the
Iowa College Division, Bill Fulton, Monroe Keys, Jim
Collins, and Ron Schachel, the relay team, came away
with a third in the 880 relay and a fifth in the mile relay.
A nucleus of veterans will return again for the Bees
this spring, along with a group of talented freshmen
to help strengthen the weak points. The Bees should
put together the finest track team in St. Ambrose's history.
