DATELINE: LENGTH: Medium
Nervo, who already held school records for the mile and 2-mile runs, toured the 800 meters in two minutes, twenty-eight seconds to shave 6 seconds off the old Glenvar mark of 2:34, set by Jill Strelka in 1990.
Nervo, who also captured the 2-mile Thursday in a tuneup for next week's district meet, led the Glenvar girls to victory in a four-way meet. Glenvar finished with 81 points, compared to 57 for Craig County. Highland (47) and Parry McCluer (16) followed.
Cathy Welford also starred for Glenvar, breaking her old school record in the discus with a heave of 91 feet, 2 1/2 inches.
In a boys' meet among the four Pioneer District schools, senior David Robinson went 6-7 in the high jump to break another Glenvar school record. Senior Ben Mahala also got in on the record-breaking act, winning the 300 at 41.9.
Robinson, Mahala and freshman Troy Lewis were each double-winners for Glenvar, which amassed 140 points to easily down Parry McCluer (53), Craig County (13) and Highland (12.)
