f Lions Stalk Ivy 5 With hard work, dedication, and to- getherness, the approximately fifty members of the track team set out to win the Ivy League Championship and be a tough competitor. Most of the team were underclassmen who car- ried much of the burden. Head Coach John Corona stated, If our young people can come through for us, we will be very competitive and realize the goals we have set for ourselves. During the two-hour practices, the long distance runners and sprinters concentrated on their strides, while other members involved in field events tried to improve their technique and build up stamina. Corona with assis- tants Dick Diamond, Mike Dennis, Steve Babka, and Brad Roseling kept the team in top condition. Outstanding athletes, Chris Harper, George McKinley, Casey Whitney, and Steve Jones provided the leadership that the team needed to run off with the Ivy Championship. Corona further declared, This is a good group of ath- letes that our opponents will have to reckon with. FRONT ROW Coach Mike Dennis. Mike Espmosa.

It was evident that the girls didn ' t get preferential treatment. They were expected to give maximum ef- fort and above all to show improve- ment, even if it meant staying a little longer or hurting a little more. Daily workouts were part of the agenda for reaching their goals. Dur- ing these workouts, the twenty-five members ran. worked on speedwork, and practiced technigues in the field events. Coach Di amond stated, Their togetherness is very unigue. They not only pulled together as a team and competed well together, but they were all compelled by a desire to be successful. Track 99
