UNDEFEATED!! SPECTATOR Coach Mike Tosone cheers on his team as he looks in at a race. In his second year as the varsity coach. Mr. Tosone enjoyed a coach’s dream - an undefeated season. T wenty seven duol meet vic- tories in o row. It doesn ' t get much better than this The Vamps would hove good couse to remember their ster- ling 1987 track season. Coach Tosone had the recipe for success. When kids work hard enough, success is sure to follow”, he explained. The un- defeated season for spring track followed a similar record for the winter and cross country reams indicating Braintree ' s domi- nance in the BSL. RELAY The sprint relay team consisting of Mark Carey, Steve Powilatis, Dave Cronin, and Andy Kim posted a new school record of 44.7 seconds. The close knit group gathered around the tools of their trade. ”1 like to have kids on my ream who are tenacious, confi- dent and our there for the right reasons,” the coach remarked. “They have to try to get as much our of the sport as possi- ble and to help the ream in any way they can.” With the talent available to the coach, the meet scores were usually lop-sided in Drain- tree ' s favor. Many of the sen- iors on the squad pur in out- standing efforts in their individ- ual specialties, bur it was the strong effort even by the sec- ond, third and fourth place fin- ishers that allowed Braintree to thoroughly dominate the dual meets. It was a great season of new events, new school records and positive accomplishments by a hard-working ream. One for the record books and rhe memories.

The ralenr-loden rrack reom held irs own against ail of rhe powers in rhe league excepr for Ded- ham and ended wirh an 8-1 record Since rhe ream was staffed by many sophomores and underclassmen, rhe experience gained in rhe 1987 season would be useful in future years.
