No Pain No Gain ltls been said that if there's no pain, there's no gain. Well, this statement holds true at track practices and meets, where certain dedicated Stangs test- ed their ability for running and sprinting. This year's team was small, and there were a lot of newcomers, approximately 751, as estimated by the coaches. Some of the top ueterans were Eddie Vaughn, Mike Blackwell, John Mendiola, and Charles Putney. These four talented competitors were key influences for the success of this year's squad. The team 's toughest competitors were Rio Ameri- cano, El Camino, and El Dorado. lt wasn't the strongest year, but it was cer- tainly productive in training future track stars. None of this would haue been pos- sible without hard work and dedication of Coach Davidson, Coach Almond, Coach Heckle and Coach Rogers. lt's been a tough season, but they haue worked hard and have done well, said Coach Heckle. 1.
