Scope and content
Lincoln High School track team member demonstrates the shotput. Lincoln would come in third place in the annual Cross-state League relays of May 3, 1941, a few days after this practice shot was taken. Members of the track team were versatile in more than one specialty as they were expected to race as well as participate in other track endeavors. In fact, the shot put competition at the relays was won by Lincoln athlete Ingwall Thompson with fellow team member Allen Smythe second. (T. Times, 5-5-1941, p. 10-article on relays)
