Boys Track Wins State!May 25th, 1968
• Head coach Don Kohlmann and the 1968 Proviso West boys track team had to think that they had a good shot at winning the state team title.
• After all, Proviso West had already built a tradition during the first 10 years of the school's history, as West had top-10 team finishes in the state track meet in 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964 and 1965.
• Earlier in the 1967-68 school year, the Panthers' cross country team finished second in the state, only a single point behind team state champion Arlington, as the elusive second state championship in school history slipped away once again.
Earlier in the year the Cross Country team had placed 2nd in the state.
