The Agony of Defeat I s there any sport that offers something for everyone? Yes ... Track and Field has something for almost anyone who is athletically inclined. For those who enjoy running, there are the track events. And, for those keen on specialized physical effort, there are the track events. The Boys Track Team at Madison this year was a highly-developed squad that subjected itself to strenuous workouts every day of the season. Many members left the track each day with aches and pains in the most unusual places. I really got a feeling of team unity this year, said Mark Nickell, and I guess that's why we won so many meets this year. This was the rea- son for the Track Team's success. It was a really united team with a lot of spirit, and a flair for winning. 2 3 4 Bob Johnson paces himself on a long-distance run. Sprinters; FIRST ROW: P.

Stopwatches, Spikes, and Success The first five meets of the Girls' Track team ended in ec- static victory, setting a precedent for the remainder of the season. These victories were the results of long hours spent working out after school, during weekends, and during va- cation. With about a dozen returning runners and an en- thusiastic new group, the team went into the season ranked number one in Western League with Point Loma, their toughest competition. Madison's strength seemed to lie in its distance runners, but the competitors in the sprints and field events proved to be just as strong. Team unity was an important part of the girls' success. We're one big, happy family. Without Coaches Bennett and Markley, we'd be nothing, stated one runner. This close, fun-loving, hard- working team cheered, clapped, stamped, screamed, and whistled their way home from every victorious meet. Their season ended with high hopes for an equally winning team next year. Girls' Track is becoming more popular and the competition is getting tougher, but Madison's team will be ready for it all in '77. yj+wnWl. 228 Girls'Track
