Tracksters Oppose Strong Competition The 1971 Warrior varsity boys’ track squad this year had to oppose some very strong competition from schools both in and out of our conference. Despite the opposition, Fullerton tracksters were able to shine above everyone else in many events. The one event that surprised the most .people was the two-mile run. The participant was a freshman, Kevin Morris, who showed some very promising talent. In the shot and discus Bob Oakley did an out- standing job. Bob was able to represent Fullerton at the state track meet held in Kearney this year. Bob was also the total points winner for the season. The two-mile relay team comprised of Jeff Shot- koski, Tom Nesbitt, Tom Delancey, Jack Nelson, and alternate Tom Elznic were in the spotlight and should receive credit for their outstanding efforts. This group showed a great deal of talent at the district meet at Grand Island against some formidable competitors. Barry Miller shows his dedication for athletics by performing the tedious task of liming the track.

1971 WARRIOR GIRLS’ TRACK SQUAD BACK ROW: Head Coach Gerald Collingham, Ass’t. Coach Roni Meyer, Student Manager T. Patton, Student Manager M. Smoyer SECOND ROW: D. Cox, C. Zywiec, M. Channer, M. Milby, S Girls Display Skills In Track And Field The °71 Warrior girls’ track squad finished its first year on the track circuit. Considering that this was the initial year for girls’ track, the amount of participation was very high. The number of girls just about equaled the number of boys out for track. Head Coach Gerald Collingham was excited over the prospect that there will be a girls’ squad next year. The outlook is good, with many juniors and sophomores returning after earning their first-year letters. The two girls who rated the highest in points this year were Sandy Kramer and Julie Hunzeker. Sandy participated in the 880-yard run and the discus. Julie ran the 440-yard dash, 100-yard dash, and the 50- yard low hurdles. This was the first year that the girls were in- vited to the Athletic Banquet for participating in a sport rather than for being a Varsity Cheerleader or a senior pep club member. It added a new spark to the banquet and a significant change to F.H.S. athletic history. Knowles. S. Makowski, N. Gdowski, M. Morgan, C. Penne, B. Bish, J. Brower, L. Cox. FRONT ROW: J. Maly, J.
