Coach seeks old track and field records

The Vandalia High School Sports Boosters have agreed to purchase a new record board for the track team, and coach Jane Bell is seeking any old school records.
Records from the old board, as well as other boys track archives from before 1990, have been misplaced.
Bell said she is interested in finding the pole vault record and sprinter and sprint relay teams records from the 1970s and 80s.
Records are computed using fully-automatic timing, so any records recorded with a hand-held stopwatch have .24 seconds added to them to compensate for how long it takes a human to stop a watch.
Bell is requesting anyone with documented proof of a performance that betters any of the records listed below to contact her at the high school.
