Girls Track Show Promise For Future The Hudson Girls’ Track team had its ups and downs in their 1978 year. There were few victories and many near wins — Hudson lost to Woodbury by five points, Prescott by four points and, in a field of six, the team placed fourth at the Hudson Invitational. The high point of the season was when the J.V. team won the Baldwin-Woodville J.V. Conference, bringing promise for the future. I.

Seniors Provide Leadership In the words of one of last season’s track members, “Senior leadership was a dominating factor in last year’s success.” The truth of this statement was demonstrated in last year’s meet results. For the first eleven of the meets Hudson attended they contented themselves with less than first placings. Once at their prime, however, Hudson went on to win all of their five remaining meets. Further evidence of maturation was manifested in the out- standing performance of the underclassmen. Notably, Sopho- more John Kromer set a new record for the mile run at 4:26.3, and Junior Flip Berry raised the pole vault ceiling to 13’0”. For the upperclassmen, Dennis Saathoff extended the triple jump to 41’5”. I. Dan Kirkpatrick practices the hurdles. 2. BOYS’ TRACK: (Front Row) John Lindebcrg, Dennis Saathoff, Carl Granbcrg.

Inexperience And Bad Weather Put A Dent In Netter’s Record Last spring for boys’ tennis, ap- proximately twenty tennis players practiced for the six positions on the varsity squad. Once the players were chosen, rainy weather and inexperi- ence were two factors that slowed down their progress. Towards the end of the season, the Netters bounced back to end up third in the conference and went on to send Joel Larson and John Waznik to section- als. I.
