41st ANNUAL KEN BELL INVITATIONAL TRACK MEET hosted by Traverse City Central High School
Named in honor of Mr. Ken Bell, 1928 graduate of Central High School, retired Sports Editor of the Traverse City Record/Eagle and long time Trojan Track fan and official. In 1968, it was his idea to run our Elementary All-City Track Meet on a track in front of the bleachers at Thirlby Field. From that grew today's Elementary All-City Track Program that has affected the lives of thousands of kids. For the last 40 years over 1,000 athletes from 26 elementary schools compete each spring in this great sport. Upon his retirement, Ken became THE high jump judge at all home track meets. For over twenty years, rain or shine, he watched as hundreds of young men and women sailed over the bar as he added a few words of encouragement. Each spring, for the last 40 years “The Most Outstanding Trojan Track and Field Athlete” is awarded the Ken Bell Award. We honor him by naming this meet the Traverse City KEN BELL INVITATIONAL. Ken passed away on March 31, 2006 at the age of 95. His life was rich and we remember him as a person that loved the sport of Track and Field and liked nothing better then to watch a great race or field event competition.
