The prac tices are hard but they were always fun, commented shot put and discus thrower, Tracey Tastad. The runners had their hard times with injuries this season. Michelle Banks added, At the Esper- anza meet this year I pulled my hamstring muscle running the last leg of the 440 yard relay. The injury did not setback the recovery. A tempo- rary setback doesn ' t have to be completely disa- bilitating if you keep the proper attitude, Mi- chelle concluded. Audra Weaser a high jumper for four years added Throughout my career, I ' ve met the goals I put forth. I tried to contribute the most possible points for the team. That is what track is all about, setting goals, meeting them and winning points for the team. Lynnctte Ignacek concludes, The past four years have been a great experience.
