'B V wa- x 'N X-1 lk x . x 1 Throughout the 1979-80 season, the boys swim team competed against schools out of their divi- sion. Due to the lack of class S schools, such as Weston, the team swam against double L schools. The difficulty in this is reflected in their 79-80 record. Although the team's record was 3-8, the out- standing performances of some in- dividuals qualified them for the state trials, which were held at Weston, and enables them to take fourth place in the state class S championships. wwf' I Q

A hopeful extra point kick executed by Scott Shield, as Greg Ledin holds the ball. Strong Defense Led he Way The gruellling summer ses- sions and the endless series of practices gave the Weston foot- ball team a 6-4 record, their sec- ond highest total ever. Led by Seniors Greg Maroun and Dan Street, the Trojans' de- fense ranked among the best in the league, holding many oppo- nents to under ten points. The offense, even though they had difficulty coordinating, re- mained strong enough to achieve a Winning season. Among many factors contrib- uting to the team's perfor- mance were their close bonds of friendship and also the inspi- ration provided by the in- creased spectator turnout. With many of this year's ju- niors and sophomores return- ing, as well as talented fresh- man, 1980-81 promises an equally successful season.
