TRACK AND SWIMMING Encouraged by fine weather and an exceptionally early spring, a large squad of track and field men reported for practice under Coach Carl Belliston. After two weeks of practice, tryouts for team positions were held. The team selected was composed mostly of Freshmen, only one member of last year's squad being on this year's team. Practice meets were held with Weber High and Davis High. On April 19 Weber met Westminster Junior College in a track meet at Salt Lake City. The most important track event of the year was the Junior College Track and Field Meet at Provo, April 27. Weber entered a group of fourteen trackmen, who made the outstanding achievement of the year in athletics. They broke one conference record and placed first in seven events, to gain a total of 59 1/2 points and bring Weber their first Rocky Mountain Junior College Track and Field championship. The Weber swimming team, coached by Carl Belliston, was the only junior college swimming team in the State. Therefore, the State competition was limited to high schools. During the year the team competed in meets with the Granite, West, and South high schools of Salt Lake City.

The Women's Athletic Association was organized at Weber College in 1935. Its purpose is to create interest in women's athletics. At a meeting of the Girls' Association during the winter quarter, Helen Parmley was elected president, June Griffiths, vice-president, and Laura Chadwick, secretary. The Association began to function immediately and during the year sponsored several tournaments. The intramural basket-ball tournament, carried on over a period of three weeks, attracted seven teams: English, Sociology, Physical Education, Faculty, Business, La Dianaeda, and Otyokwa. After several well-played games, La Dianaeda won the championship of the tournament from Otyokwa by one point. On March 28 and 29 four girls entered a swimming meet in Salt Lake City. Mae Emmett placed for Weber. Volley-ball, squash-ball, tennis, swimming, and archery tournaments were also conducted. |
