Glory Days

When Spokane's Gerry Lindgren decided to turn up the heat at the Los Angeles Coliseum on July 25, 1964, he left the mighty Russsians behind and stood alone atop the running world. Background painting by Molly Quinn, Bridget Sawicki and Daniel Wiegand.

  • High School athletics:
    A century to remember

    We're talking high school sports. Ten stories over 11 days where we pick our favorite men and women athletes, coaches and teams of the past 100 years.
    We selected high school sports for our century project because that's been our franchise for the last 100 years. We focused on Spokane because our records and archives are incomplete for areas outside the county.
    It's been a team effort, but we also had assistance outside the newspaper from two Spokane natives and former sports editors, Bob Payne (The Spokesman-Review) and Merle Derrick (The Daily Chronicle). We would have been lost without their exhaustive research, records and clip files.
