The 1979-80 Girls Track Team started the season off and run- ning with a bang. The team was young with two freshman to every one upper classman. Coach McReynolds and Coach Cyn- thia Zapien stressed individual goals be set in the beginning with attainment at the end. Goals were reached by hard and painful struggles to the top. The whole team benefited throughout the season by showing support and enthusiasm toward fellow team- mates during the competition. Speed, endurance and skill were tested and trained vigorously with weights, distance running, sprints, and plenty of conditioning. Running in the rain to Peoria, hi-knee sprints, and of course, the ever bearable towel drills will be remembered by the entire team. Susan Crabtree and Brenda Harper received a four year letter, and Karen Pennington, Patty Shafer and Tracy Thompson a two year letter.

The boys’ track team has probably the largest membership of all the sport teams. To be that large and still prosper, it really takes a lot of group effort and a willingness to succeed. The team was led by head coach Roy Tolby, Emmett Smith, Greg Parrish, and Allan Bice. Hours of daily practicing on the field and track were crucial. Form for running, jumping, and throwing were repeated time and time again so that the team would be in perfect shape for the meets. Weight room workouts were performed mainly by the weightman. but other field and running events used weights be build stamina for winning times and throws. In track, individual ability is brought out and events arc performed solo rather than the ''team” effort found in other sports. Leaving the team this year are Andy Acedo, Ron Goodwin. Kerry Burnett, Fred Kuo, Dale Cooper. Scott Papa. Mike Pomeroy, Scott Patriko. Ken Wallace, Neal Harris, who all played major roles in the season's outcome. The returning participants for 1981 show predictable future accomplishments. Junior Varsity Track Team: Top Row; Luts Salcido. Chris Hale. Dave Flitner. Erie Nelson. Bob Greenfield. Wallie Howard.
