Lane has had many great teams over the years.
What made these teams great is the overall system, tradition, and expectations
that one has when someone wears the Myrtle and the Gold. Also, every single
individual associated with the team helps in the teams success. What makes a
team great is not the individual stars on the team, the overall record of the
team, or whether they won any city championships. To measure success by those
metrics would diminish the efforts of every contributor to the team. A team is
successful if the members on the team have worked to their best ability and
utilized the potential that they had. So to me the person that puts the greatest
effort or tries the hardest will always be great indicator of achievement. Those
individuals are putting forth the necessary effort and work to become the best
possible athlete they can be regardless of talent level. That is why it is very
difficult for me to make the following list. The following lists are individuals
who happened to be outstanding athletes at Lane and have gone on to play beyond
the high school level. It is by no means my intention to state that they were
the most important members of their team that year. Rather, they are individuals
who happened to have the ability to play at another level beyond high school.
The list obviously is incomplete. If you know
of anyone who needs to be added to this list or recognize any corrections to be
made, please contact me the information and we will get him/her posted.

George Tyms |
1968 |
Track and Field |
Northern Illinois University; member of USA National Team |
state shot put title in 1968 ; won
the state title on a cold rainy day with a throw of 57-6 1/4. About
2 weeks later, I set a city of record of 61-1, which eclipsed the
old mark by over 5 feet and stood for 23 years. I continued on at
Northern Illinois University where my Lane teammate Rick Bilder
('69), who was 3rd in state and had a best of about 59-6, joined me
the following year. Together we dominated shot putting in the
Midwest for a number of years. During 1972 we both topped the
60-foot barrier for the first time making NIU one of only three
colleges in America with two 60-foot throwers. Although I qualified
for 6 NCAA championship meets (placed 7th in 1970 indoors) it was
Rick who finally broke through in 1973 and won NIU's first NCAA
medal in track.
For the remainder of the '70s we both
continued our athletic careers for the powerful University of
Chicago Track Club and qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials in
1972, 1976, and 1980, where Rick was a finalist. During those years
we each won medals at national championship meets. In 1976 I was a
member of the U.S. national team for the USA vs. USSR indoor meet in
Leningrad. At career's end it was fitting that after being
teammates for most of 12 years we were separated by only 1 3/4
inches as Rick's best effort was 65-3 and mine was 65-1 1/4.
In 2000 we were inducted together
into the NIU Hall of Fame and coach Len Jareczek served as our
presenter.(Furthermore, the MC that night was NIU radio announcer
Bill Baker, also a Lane Tech grad!).
Sadly, "Big Rick" passed away
suddenly in 2001 at age 50 and "Coach" passed away just a few months
ago. It was a great run and I'll never forget those days that all
began in Gym 3 one December day in 1964. |
