The Webb Varsity Track This year's track team members were very young, but their lack of experience did not stop them from being successful. An example of their success is that the team had eight people who qualified for the region. During the regular season, the Spartans were defeated only once. They showed talent in every phase of the sport. The top field competitors were Marsh Frere, Bill Arbo, Bill Yarberry, and Mark Vesser. The sprinters were led by Doug Traver and Dean Smith, who was undefeat- ed and ran a 10.2 in the 100. The Spartans 880- and 440- relay teams were outstanding throughout the season. The 880-team was made up of Bill Haslam, Mark Dore, Rick Deaderick, and Doug Traver. The mile-relay team of Mark Vesser, Al Vesser, Dean Smith, and Kenan Smith was defeated once by Farragut in the regular season, but the Spartans beat Farragut twice in the post-season meets. The distance runners were Al Locke, Morris Dalton, and Robert Roach. Bill Arbo, Mark Sherrod, and Steve Blake hurdled through the year. At the KIL meet, the 880-relay team placed first and also placed fourth as a 440-team. The mile-relay team placed third. Robert Roach came up fifth in stiff 880 competition. In the District, all three relay teams qualified for the Regionals as well as 440- runner Mark Vesser, 880-runners Roach and Dalton, and high and long jumper Bill Arbo, In the region, the 880-relay team was fourth with a time of 131.8, seven tenths off the school record. Roach and Dalton both broke the school 880 records. Webb can expect great things from them in the future. 74 ATHLETICS Team Comes into Its Own Dean Smith, Bill Arbo, Doug Traver, and Kenan Smith - lst in the city and 4th in the region 880-relay team.
