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.

Track Teams Enjoy Success Doug Gilson shows the strain that he is putting forth while throw- ing the shotput against Genoa. Bob Oakley tucks in an attempt to place in the finals and gain points for the team. The 1971 track season drew to a close with the Boys’ District Meet at Columbus Lakeview on May 14. Bob Oakley, however, qualified for the State Meet in the shotput. Coaches felt that both squads showed strength and the season was a success. The annual Athletic Banquet was held on April 3 this year. The head coaches of each sport spoke to the honored athletes, cheerleaders, and senior Pep Club members, summing up the football and basket- ball seasons and making predictions for the track season. Le ttermen for the football and basketball programs were announced and prospects for next year were cited. The banquet’s finale was filmed highlights of the Cornhusker Football season.
