, -',yfvgtw4+p3y.--f 'Nav JUNIOR JULIE PICCINI concentrates intently on clearing the high jump. Boys improve skillsg practice brings victory ccording to Varsity Track Coach John Davis K1 it requires a special kind of athlete to be in track. An ath- lete must have stamina, dedica- tion, sportsmanship, and must be willing to give his all to com- pete in track. Both the boys' and girls' track teams put forth a great effort, according to varsity coaches John Davis and Jodi Gitelis. The team has done super, said Coach Gitelis, I was pleased with everybody and their efforts toward winning and being a sucessful team, and the results showed when we came in third in the conference! Boy, were all the coaches proud! As well as their third place conference finish the girls' track team won two out of their three dual meets. In the three triangu- lar meets the girls took second in two and the other one was can- celed because of rain. In fact, because of the rain, this year's track season didn't live up to its full potential. '-'lt One of GBS's most outstanding track athletes, Jim Hunter, tries to attain maxi- mum distance in the longjump. was a short season this year and a very rainy onef' said Coach Gitelis The boys' varsity track team finished with a record of 3-8. The team's more notable accom- plishments included winning one invitational meet and placing second and third in two other meets. The boys' track team fin- ished fourth in the outdoor con- ference and fifth in the indoor conference meets. Mr. John Davis, the boys' var- sity coach,.feels that the team made lots of improvement. Many of the team members im- proved their time and distance and as a result became more competitive. Track includes 18 events in all and because of this, needs many athletes to compete. Unfortu- nately, the GBS track team did not meet this depth and suf- fered as a result. coach Davis thinks this lack of depth kept the team from being a winning one. Boys' and Girls' Track!
