Three-Ti me ECC Winners S The ECC-winning 1962 track team set a hard-to-beat record for this year's group, which was up against some tough competition from Class L teams. 0 Last year's team placed sixth in the Class M Indoor State Meet in a tie with Amity Regional High School. Waterford scorers in this meet, which was held at the University of Connecticut at Storrs, included Alexander Orloft, who placed third in the mile run, and James Whitford, who came in third in the 600-yard dash. 0 Also in the state meet, Richard Beebe won fourth place in the 60-yard dash, a new event for the WHS team last year. The 880-yard relay team lEric Nelson, Richard Beebe, Raymond Romeo, and James Whittordl also placed fourth. I Although the team was beaten by Fitch, victories in 1962 included meets with Windham and Valley Regional.
