While reading a 1905 "Morning Courier" from DuBois I ran across the very first track meet to every happen at DHS.  It was at the Driving Park in May.  we won.   The hammer was thrown. No Javelin or discus.   The "running broad jump" event went 19 feet.  The "running high jump" went 4' 11.5 "  The pole vault went 8'  1"  The Athletic Association" at the school put it on.  The coach was "Bob" Reed.  Our biggest winner was a "J. Harrington" who took 4 firsts.  Schools attending were DuBois, Reynoldsville, ridgeway, and Clearfield.  DuBois scored 58 out of a possible 101 points.  "Patchell" of DuBois won the mile in 5:38.  Harrington threw the shot 35'

By 1906 all the locker rooms were at the driving Park, and the teams would celebrate with a dance at the pavilion there, after the meet.
