"BILL SWISSHELM, EVERETT JACKSON SELECTED" TRACK & FIELD ATHLETES OF YEAR FOR 1954 _[_ Two of Southern California's top sprinters, Everett Jackson, Manual Arts High School, and Bill Swisshelm, Santa Ana High, were chosen as Track and Field Athletes of the Year for 1954 by the Helms Athletic Foundation All-Southern California Board of Athletics. Jackson was named the top performer from among Los Angeles City schools, while Swisshelm was selected from the ranks of the Southern California C.I.F. high schools. Jackson led Manual Arts to the Los Angeles City Track and Field title, defeating Jefferson High, title holder for the past five years. Jackson flashed to victories in the 100 and 220-yard dashes and anchored the winning mile relay team. Everett's best times were 9.8 and 21.5 for the two sprints. Jackson also took a fourth place in the 220-yard dash at the State meet. Bill Swisshelm, fleet Santa Ana flash, was a consistent winner for his team throughout the season in both dashes and added a national interscholastic record in the ISO-yard low hurdles to boot. Swisshelm won both dashes in the C.I.F. Southern Section finals in 10.0 and 22.3 recording best times of 9.6 and 20.8 during the season. Bill set his national mark of 18.7 for the 180- yard lows at the Compton Invitational, April 24. Bill collected a pair of thirds at the State meet in the 100 and 220 dashes. For having been named Track and Field athletes of the year, both boys will have their names engraved upon the Paul H. Helms Trophy, lodged in Helms Hall. Jackson was coached by Charles Toney, who directed Manual Arts to its first City Championship in Track and Field since 1934. Toney also coached that team, winning the title at Los Angeles High School. Swisshelm 1 s coach, Reece Greene, directed Santa Ana to a tie for the C.I.F. Southern Section title with Centennial High School. Santa Ana also won the C.I.F. title in 1953. -1-
