Hurt ore double winners Humboldt 2nd in Webster City's 1st Lynx Relays A dead heat for the Class team title and an outstanding halt mile by Humboldt's Duane Nelson were highlights of the 16th annual Humboldt Relays Tuesday evening, Fort Dodge won the Class A team crown but Nelson gave Wildcat fans plenty to cheer about with a stirring come-from-behind victory in the anchor portion of the medley relay. Algona and Prairie tied for the Class crown.

Nelson took the baton trail- Ing Fort Dodge anchorman Jim Mortenson by about 40 yards and ripped off an amazing opening 220 to chew up a big chunk of that lead, He continued to gain throughout the race and the murmur In the stands turned to a roar when he caught Mortenson on the home stretch and won it going away. Nelson was clocked unofficially In 1:58.2, his best half of the season and one of the top times In the state. "Just a little warm-up for the Drake Relays," announcer John Westphal told the crowd. Nelson's Job was made difficult by Fort Dodge and Eagle Grove stars Scott Stiles and Tim Smith, who put Humboldt a distant third going into the final leg with sub 50- second quarters. One Class A record was surpassed when Webster City's strong senior weightman Steve Wilson heaved the shot 86-1, cracking the 51-11 mark setlast year by Eagle Grove's Ron Tanner.

In Class Clarion's distance ace Greg Tlce set a new mile- run mark of 4:45.8, bettering the 4:51.2 standard established by former Cowboy Bines In 1970. Tice was far from first place In the mile, however. That honor also went to Duane Nelson, who won the open event in less than 50 minutes before his anchor effort in the medley, The Class A mile mark is 4:24.5, set by Humboldt's Dan Sanders In 1968. Humboldt's only other relay threat was in the shuttle hurdle event, where Fort Dodge got the nod for first although both teams were clocked in 57.6. That time the meet record time set coincidentally by Humboldt and Fort Dodge in 1968.

Humboldt's only other first came from Dennis Hart, who took the 180 yard low hurdles in 21.6. Earlier Hart was nosed out of first in the 120 highs by St. Edmond's McCarville. In the field events the Wildcats were blanked from first but took four seconds-Mike Allen in the high jump, Mike Vandenberg in the pole vault, Randy Thompson in the discus and Paul Larson in the on Jump. Jerry Davis got third in the discus.

Vandenberg copped third in the 100 and Lynn Hagar matched that In the two-mile run. The Class team title was in question until the final event CLASS A Fort Dodge 92 Humboldt Eagle Grove, St. Edmond 53 Webster City 39 Algona. Prairie. Manson.
