School is back in session, and for many, including Johnny Neilsen, this means living out of 'town to attend university. Johnny,. is how in Michigan, where he Juts began his studies at the University of. , Michigan on a partial athletic scholarship, But before leaving Seaforth. he competed in one last track and field meet. The meet, the Pan Am Games held in Sudbury over the•weekend, pitted Johnny against the best junior shot putters from eighteen countries, including the ' United States. Accustomed to leaving meets with a gold medal around his neck, Johnny had to settle for a second place finish this time behind American Scott Jennings. But the two were only six centimetres apart on .. their best throws. • With his departure this fall, Nielsen leaves a void at Seaforth District High School: For five years, he led the school _in 'many sports, including soccer; volleyball and6iTketba11, as welt as in the-shorptrt — and discus. He managed to "put"- SDHS on the track and field map by winning almost every meet he competed in. Among his gold collection are medals from the Canadian Junior Championships for both 1979 and 1980, the Mansfield Relays in Michigan and the International Prep in Naperville, Illnois. He holds the record for Canadian Juniors, as well as for Canadian interscholastic competitions. Nielsen has gained international respect in the shot put world, and is now harbouring thoughts of competing in Ihe 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Good Luck, Johnny, all of Seaforth will be watching. * * * * * With summer coming to a close, lOtal, baseball leagues are also wrapping up their seasons. One of the big stories this year is the Seafprth Junior Farmers ladies slo- pitch team. The team, formed this past spring, is only one game away from Sporteit Fatil - • winning the B championship ill the Plarffs' for Seaforth and area ladies s10 -pitch* The girls are playing ,I3Kodhagen in it three out of five championship series,and are ahead by a tally of 2-0. The first game, • last week at the Optimist Park, saw the Junior Farmers romp over Brodhagen 25712, after recovering frona'a first innink 7-0 deficit. After winning the second game 15-11 in Brodhagen, the Seaforth teamAs returning to the Optimist Park for what they hope will be the final game of the , series. This match will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday at the park, and promises to be a good, exciting competition. Why not go out and support your favourite team? ****** While on the topic of baseball and support; the team from Roth's Food Market is scheduled to face the awesome Smoke Eaters of the Seaforth Fire depart- rnent.;in a charity softball game Sunday. RotteS. _ _ controversial triumph (we wanted to win) over the Expositor in the game last month. Our game raised $57.10 from a silver ' collection, and to this the staff and management of Roth's added $71.00. We at the paper have raised approximately the same amount, but intend to keep squeez- ing our employees for more thiS week. If - we lost in the game, at least we can top Roth's in donations. The money from the first game will be donated to the Seaforth Community Hospital next week. If you . enjoyed the Roth's-Expositor game, you'll love the game this Sunday at 1:30 p.m. at the Optimist Park. Rumour has it that Roth's may come begging to the Expositor for players to bolster 'their lineup. dwindling due to summer employ- ees leaving for college. Don't worry, the Mighty Bad News Beavers will be back again next year, even better than before. Coach reflects on athletes past 1 think I'll just take a trip around the school. He's sure to be practicing. I want to talk to him about his successes at the Pan Am games in Sudbury. Well, he's not here, I'll check Nobel's parking 4ot, he'll almost certainly be there. Only after staring at the empty parking lot, do I finally accept the fact that a very successful legacy has terminated in Seaforth. He won't be practicing at Nobel's or at the school every day as he has for the past five years. He won't be representing our high school in tennis, badminton, basketball, soccer or track and field competition as h# has for the past five years. Times haVe' changed and so has his focus of education and competition. Before talking about the new, let's reflect upon the old. He was an honour student (75%), for five years, was a member of numerons successful interschool teams at Seaforth but,obviously, he made his mark in track and field competition. His accomplish- ments: five time Huron Perth shot put champion, holds Junior shot put record, holds Senior shot put record; five time WOSSA shot put champion,. holds Junior shot put record, holds Senior shot put record; three time OFSSA shot put champion •holds OFSSA Junior shot put record, holds b-OFSSA, Senior- shot put record; five time guton Perth DiScus champion; three time WOSSA Discus champion; one time OFSSA Discus champion; Can adian Legion shot put champion; two time Canadian Junior shot put champion; Mensfield Relay shot put winner; Chicago Prep. meet Shot put winner; Windsor Kennedy shot put winner and record holder; Pan Am Junior silver medalist in men's shot put. To cap this, he is currently the holder o14 the Canadian high school 12 lb. interscholas- tic and the Canadian Junior 16 lb. shot put record. He is already throwing the Olympic discus 11/2 meters further than any athlete in a Canadian university. From this list of accomplishments, „and noting the lack of any valid conipetition in Canada, his only hopes for improvement and competition lie in the United States. Early Sunday morning he took the first step towards this end by leaving for Ann Arbor. Michigan,to enrol at the University of Nfichagan. At Michigan, he will have the best of two worlds; access to one of-IslOrth. America's finest academic institutions and membership on one of the best -coached and most successful Big Ten track and field teams. This academic and athletic potential will have no end. I know that I speak for many Seaforth people when I say good luck and thank you for representing us so well in the past. The future is all yours, Johnny Nielsen. Teach for it. Your old coach.
