Costa Mesa Girls Uutrun League Gpponents Girls Track for 1978 had the usual average year- finishing in the middle of the circuit standings. Led by defending champions Sheryl Romahn and Joclin Fisher in the 880 and the 2 mile respectively, the girls stayed with most opponents, dominating the mil relay. A good freshmen crop along with good sprinters and hurdlers also helped greatly as Valerie Waters, Su Young and Romahn led this part of the squad. With coach Wettengel pushing the girls to their maxi- mum, the distances were strong as Fisher, Sue Kolar and Romahn led the way. A lot of underclassmen make the outlook for coach Wettengel's team in the future, very promising. l. Track team members stretch before an afternoon workout. 2.
