Not Just Individuals Girls Track Strives For Team Success During an afterschool practice, junior Paula Winoso hurls the discus in prep- aration for the next meet. Getting a running start to improve her performance, junior Kathryn Wilson prepares to high jump. School was out, yet still there were girls who wanted to stay to practice track and field events until 4:30 or 5:00 in the evening. Committed to their sport, these girls were members of the girls track team. Since the team was open to any interested girl, ninety- one members joined. Reaching individual goals was important, but even more impor- tant was their ability to work as a strong team. The coaches re- sponsible for this success were Head Coach Jesse Nevin, Coach Nancy Corea, Coach Larry Duker- ich, and Coach Nancy ESs. They stressed the necessity of atten- dance, attitude and commitment to build the team's winning spirit. The events included in girls track were sprints, distance runs, relay races, hurdles, high jump, long jump, shot put, and discuss. New this year was the first annu- al Mustang Classic Track Meet which was held at Dobson on March 26. It was a sixteen school invitational meet for which partici- pants were chosen in afternoon preSminaries. The Mustang Classic Track Meet prepared the girls for divisionals.

They devoted their full concentration to condi- tioning themselves for the meet. Track was an individual sport in which the athlete couldn't hide behind the team. However, the team was emphasized. These indi- viduals spent a good part of the first season preparing for their first meet. Striving for the best, the athletes showed their strong points in throwing, pole vaulting and dis- tance running. Those individuals who stood out from the numbers were pole vaulters Mike Jenkins and Matt Roggeman, sprinter Andy Johnson and distance runner Ed Friend. Design by Cheryl Evans and Kellie Thurston. Photos by Steve Wilbur. Jeff Girard takes a breather during practice to watch Matt Roggeman work towards pole vault perfection. Boys Track Sports 95
