Below' jumping ZVW' in the long jump at distric .VV johnvcrout set a school record and placed first i Rebuilding Year forj.V., Freshmen IUNIORVARSITY .Ranking fourth in district, the junior varsity, along with the other track teams, was rebuilding. The whole track program had one of its best seasons in several years, coach Charles Fitzmorris said! The lack in number of athletes and lack of strength in the track events was a problem for j.V. as well as varsity. johnfCrout broke a school record in the long jump with a jump of 21'W' at the district meet, placing first. He also placed second in the 330 hurdles at dis- trict. 0 Kevin Green won district with a 6'2 high jump, and Mike Belnoski placed second in district in the shotput. V ln field events, the mile relay team of jimmy McQueen, jon Walker, Crout and David Stricklin finished fourth in district. They placed in most of the meets withyaltirne averaging about 3:35, coach Fitzmorris said. Another impor- tant member in the track events was Steve Bullard, coach Fitzmorris said. His consistency in the 800 meter kept him competitive. FRESHMEN The strength of the freshman track team was in its sprinters, but when it got to the district meet injuries prevented the team from doing well. The team ranked sixth in district. The major weakness of the team was the same problem identified at the var- sity and junior varsity levels, lack of depth. 'I had too many people running the same event. Therefore, with the amount l had we could not compete to the ful- lest capacity, coach joe Karkoska said. 0 'lt was in field events, though, that the team set records. Luther Franklin set a school discus record with a throw of 131' and was also a stand-in sprinter.
