AN ALMOST SEASON ■ The season was hard fought — against the hkes of South Side (runner-up at state), Snider, and Northrop. The Nor- throp Meet was won by the Bruins b - a mere 5 point margin. Traditionally, the General track team peaks near sec- tionals, so the early season scores do not reflect the power of the team. This year was no exception. When the end of the season approached, the Generals began to turn in some dynamic times. Ken Thomas, Ken Boyd, Doug Brewer, Tim and Jeff Regenold all began to peak, and the Generals, were a team to be reckoned with. The Generals finished 3rd in the Lime Cit ' Relays, 5th in the SAC Meet, and then 4th in the Dayton Invitational (where they didn ' t run dashes, they ran flashes). Then came Sectionals. Accompanying Ken Thomas ' victory in the 800 was the 1600 m. relay team of Keith Bynum. Ken Thomas (again |. Tim Burton, and Kendrick Boyd which fin- ished second. Doug Brewer finished 4th in the 100 m. dash and Tim Regenold also finished 4th in the 1600 m. run. as well as finishing 5th in the 800 m. run. Kendrick Boyd placed fifth in the 400 and Calvin Walker finished 6th in the discus. In Regionals, the Generals didn ' t fare so well, and no one made the trip to the state meet in Indianapolis. Youth and inexperience contributed to the Gener- al ' s downfall but there is always next year — and next year looks very promis- ing for the Generals.

The Boys Track Team survived fairly well during the 1981 season — finishing with a 5-6 record (excluding relays) and placing fourth in Sectionals, Fort Wayne, as usual, had many top-ranked teams, the competition was fierce, but though there were some disappoint- ments, there were also some bright spots. Although no one on the team was able to make the trip to the state meet, Ken Thomas shone brightly for the Gen- erals as he captured both the SAC and Sectional crowns in the 800 meter run, the latter of which he ran in record time. Ken, who will be returning next year as a senior, wasn ' t even expected to run in the 800 at the start of the season, but soon proved himself to be one of the best in the area in that event.
