The Track Team Was Small But They Won Big The track team was small this year but went on to big victories. Among these Denise Tolzin qualified for the state track meet in the long jump for the third year in a row. Daren Guischer also had a good year in which he qualified for the state meet in both the 1600 and 3200 meter races. Dana Houser also went to state and par- ticipated in the 100 meter dash and set a new school record in the time of 28.16. Others on the team were David Hovde, who ran the 200, 400, 800, and 1600 meter races, Todd French, who worked on the 100, 200, 400, and 300 hurdles, and Brad Easland who tried the long-jump, 100 and 200 meter dashes. Overall the team chose Daren Guischer as boys most valuable and most inspirational. Bryan Guischer was chosen most improved, Dana Houser most promising, and Denise Tolzin most valuable. The team felt they had a great year and are looking forward to a bigger and better year next year. Daren Guischer, Dana Houser, Brad Easland, David Hovde and Bryan Guischer are ready for the sound of the gun to signal the start of the race. 28 Daren Guischer won two awards for track.
