Dan
Sweeney's 1974 mark of 1:55.5c on Vista's dirt track would be right up
there with the best in the county any year. The mark was originally
set at the slightly longer half-mile distance (880 yards) in 1:56.2 and
later converted to the 800 meter equivalent of 1:55.5c.

The record above was taken from a list of school records prepared by Sunday Durland in 1955. There appear to be gaps in the records from 1955 to 1994 so if anyone has information on records set during this period
