On The Riqhr TracU Going into the first meet against Mont- clair, the Boys ' track team knew no more than when practice first start- ed. I don ' t know how were going to do, commented Troy Rockwell, junior. We ' ve never ran against any of the people in league before. Last year (at Walnut) we were in a different league. The team ' s biggest competition was ex- pected to be Garey and Ganesha. We ' ll have to beat them with our relays, continued Troy. Although they didn ' t know what to expect, the team went into the season prepared. Coached by Jack Malloy, John Park, and Steve Salm- ons, the team specialized in many area. Coach Park, shot-put coach, said, We should do good this year. We ' ve worked hard enough. We ' re ready. Coach Jack Malloy, head coach and long distance coach, came from Chaparral every day to coach the team. He ' s a great coach, Commented long distance runner Chris Shrum, who also ran for Coach Malloy in Cross Coun- try. He really knows what he ' s talking about. We ' ve worked hard enough, we ' re ready. -Coach Park We should do well this year, as well as in a few years down the roas. The team will be very experienced in a few years, commented Troy Rockwell, ' we have alot of sophomores out there. d if w3 ▼ HEAD TO HEAD comping to the finish line, Tim Ryan battles a Montclair opponent.

Troy helped the team on the short and middle distance races with his great speed. •4 WITH AN EXPLOSIVE MOTION, Jeff Petty puts the shot. The intensity on his face shows his concentration. M EASILY CLEARING THE HURDLE, Bill Warden hur- dles during practice. Hurdling was new to many of the younger players, making adjustment difficult. With good form, Micky Martinez clears the bar. High jumping was one of the stronger points of the team. Boys Track Recreation 135
