Racing Time

Pike Track standouts Gary Wright and Mark Pengilly race to the tape in this shot taken during the half-mile race at a 1967 meet. Mark will be among the 100 in attendance at the August 1st Class Reunion at Gatsby's.

IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO TODAY...

Like the lyrics from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, "it was 20 years ago today..." at the Hyatt Regency Downtown Indianapolis, when the class of '69 showed that it really knew how to throw a reunion party. 80 classmates showed up and this group photo was taken from the balcony. How many will we see this year? We're currently up to 51 confirmed classmates, and more than 90 total attendees for the August 1st Reunion. Don't miss your chance to reconnect one more time. RSVP today!
