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.

Cathy Dean placed first and set a school record at the letero Meet with a time of 60.2. The next week at the Humble Meet, Kathleen l-lrozek broke Cathyfs record with a time of 60.1. Kath- leertgicontinued to break her own records ending the season with a 57.8 at the district track meet where she placed second in the competition and quali- fied for regionals. n The T400-meter relay andimile relay teams also set records during the sea- son. The 400-meter relay team of Hro- izek, Baker, Dedria Elmore and Beth Sac- chierri set a new time of 50.1,.and the mile relay team of Hrozek, Dean, Elmore and Sacchierri set a newit-ime of 14:14.49 The two teams placed sixth in district com petition, .Q5ggi,.f7l-,didn't think we would break that many records, coach Karen Kriegel said. 'fl set goals at the beginning of the season. I wanted at least one event tobe able to go to regionalsf' V i tnspite of the records set and a girl qualifying for regionals, the team fin- ishedfiseventh in the district. The num- ber of girls on the team was the major problem for the team, coach Kriegel said. Also the team was competing against schools that had state champi- ons or contenders for the state champi- onship. Although-all teams had the same advantage, the weather was less than desirable for the team with two cold fronts moving in during their meets and rain on all but one meet. 1 Coach Kriegel viewed the year as a building year, she, said. The team had strong runners and only one senior that would be leaving the team. L 'Ns to ui .. .s ,,. ...VL-gg , .vw N . v3,.'f,,,., sf,j Pi' : A LG Q . .
