While Lassen County High School had been in existence for only a few years it had a remarkable track team from its inception. In the spring of 1907 Lassen High invited Reno High for a track competition. It was rescheduled twice and finally held at Lassen High on May 10, 1907. Lassen more than excelled beating Reno 100 to 17.

The pole vault competition was an interesting one, and Lassen could have conceded. This was due to their rude equipment of fence rails and pine limbs used as the pole. However, Reno did bring the proper equipment. Like most of the day’s competition Lassen walloped Reno in the pole vault with Barney Kingsbury; first Tro Emerson, second and Reno’s Chester Patterson coming third.
