John Sadowski as Waipahu Marauder, Linfield Wildcat

Before John Sadowski (Class of 1970) became a Linfield Wildcat, he was a Marauder from Waipahu, Hawaii, High School. 

--One photo shows some of the sport section front of Sunday's May 2, 1965, Honoululu Star-Bulletin and Advertiser. That's Waipahu's John on the left winning the state of Hawaii boys' prep 440-yard dash at 49.5 and, in the process, tying the state record. The state meet, where he won the event, was held in Iolani School in Honolulu. 

--From the 1965 Ka Mea Ohi yearbook of Waipahu High, see John breaking tape in winning the 440 in a track meet held at Waialua H.S. 

Both high school photos show John's greatest competitor in football and track, Bob Batie from Waialua. 

--And, from the 1967 Linfield Oak Leaves, Wildcats John (on the left) and Ray Taylor (Class of 1968) are shown in action versus PLU. Linfield won the game, 21-0, played Saturday, Oct. 21, 1966, on PLU's home field in Parkland, Wash. In this case the home field was at Franklin Pierce High School in Parkland, where PLU's campus is located in the Tacoma area).
