Julie (Goodrich) Bright '84
Goodrich was a standout in track and field for the Pirates, qualifying for state three years. Her junior season, she was state champion in the 200 meters and also part of the state champion 4x100-meter relay team, which still holds the school record. She placed in the 200 three years at state and the long jump twice. After her Marshfield career, she was a two-time All-American and the school record holder in the long jump until 2010. She was among the top five Americans in the long jump from 1989 to 1995 and was the bronze medalist at the 1991 Pan American Games. She qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials three times and finished fourth in 1992, missing the U.S. team by a quarter inch. She married Tim Bright, a three-time Olympian in the decathlon and pole vault. They have two daughters and run the renowned Stars and Stripes Track Camp at Lewis & Clark College every summer.
Leta Baysinger '88
Baysinger was a four-sport standout for the Pirates and arguably the best softball player in school history. She was part of the school’s first softball team as a sophomore, and by her senior year was Midwestern League most valuable player and a first-team all-state selection. She also played volleyball, basketball and tennis for the Pirates, but went on to star in softball at Pacific Lutheran University, where she was an NAIA All-American in 1991 and 1992, the PLU senior athlete of the year in 1992 and part of the school’s 1992 national champion team. She was inducted into the PLU Hall of Fame in 2006. Baysinger is entering her 20th year as a PE teacher and has coached basketball, cross country, track, softball and volleyball at Shelton High School and Oakland Bay Jr. high in Shelton, Wash.
Chet Haliski - Coach
Chet Haliski (teacher and coach, 1949-1982) — Haliski impacted thousands of students during his time as a coach and PE teacher for Marshfield. He was an assistant coach for Marshfield’s three consecutive state champion football teams from 1954-56. Haliski also is credited with starting both the wrestling and baseball programs for the Pirates, serving as head coach of each for nearly a decade, and serving as head coach of the golf program. He headed the Marshfield intramural program for many years and, in a joint venture with longtime basketball coach Bruce Hoffine, started and operated the summer recreation program in Coos Bay. He also started the local Babe Ruth program. Marshfield students gave him the nickname “Chet the Jet” after hearing about his efforts to become an Air Force pilot.
John Dustin - Coach 1963-71
Dustin is widely credited with putting Marshfield’s wrestling program on the map. After a standout high school (state champion for Tigard) and college (Pacific Coast Champion in 1958 and 1959) career, he came to the Pirates and led the team to the Midwestern League title five times during his tenure. He coached Marshfield’s first six individual state champions, including Steve Garner, who was a high school All-American. In 1971, he was named Man of the Year by Scholastic Wrestling News. He stayed active in the sport on a national and international level after his time at Marshfield, and served as the wrestling coordinator for the 1994 Goodwill Games and the wrestling competition manager for both the 1995 FILA World Freestyle Wrestling Championships and the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Most recently, he has been involved in an effort to restore college wrestling in Oregon.
