Athletics
Anna definately offered track and probably offered basketball and baseball. More information is needed on the success
of the basketball and baseball programs at Anna High School. The great track exploits and incredible accomplishments
of one Anna trackster is listed below.
Track & Field
What can you say about the Anna track teams of 1903 and 1904? How about
Dick Seay!! This
name would be about all you would need.
Dick Seay single handedly led Anna to
a 2nd place finish in the 1904 state track meet. Dick Seay teamed with a fellow named Dillon
in 1903 to lead Anna to a 4th place finish! The two great seasons in early Anna High School history are
listed below, as researched through the IHSA web site (
www.ihsa.org).
