Girls Track Teams Strive for Perfection I think track is the best sport because it helps your development in many other sports, not to mention that it is good for your health, stated girlsi head coach Mr. Tim Cady. The goals established for the season were for the girls to develop talent, and be the best possible at their event. The track schedule was highlighted by meets against Whitmer, Adrian, and Monroe. Both sprint coach Mr. Lewis Horn and distance coach Mr. Lynn Gray felt Whit- mer was the toughest opponent. The 100 mile club was held to prepare runners for track. A four dollar entry fee was charged, and a five mile race was held with prizes such as New Balance shoes. Participants usually ran the figure eight around the junior and senior high school parking lots, five times each day. The club lasted 22 school days, from the beginning of February to the beginning of March. Winning Girls, Track Teams have been a tradition for ten years. Last year's seventh and eighth grade team suffered one defeat, at home against DeVeaux. The final record for the season was 7-1. The highlight of the season was defeating Whitmer Washington. Top per- formers for the team were Kris Resseguie, Terry Riddle, Kris Utz sprints ahead of the competition during the 2 mile. 7-1 record. 94 lulle Klelfer, Rhonda Elgin, and Shawn Lockery compete against Deveaux during the '84 track season. Deveaux went on to win this meet, leaving Bedford with a Amy Parsil, Kris Utz, Danielle Ransom, Peggy Martin and Kim Horn. Six coaches worked with the team every day after school, instructing in their area of knowledge. Mr. Cady worked with the sprinters, and coached high jump. Mr. John Kreuchauf coached hurdlers, and Mr. Gray in- structed the distance runners. Mr. Ed Mazur coached long jump, and Mr. Horn worked with the shot putters. Former Bedford runners, Kara Walcher, Jim Heebsh and Mike Valdez also helped out. Eighth grade distance runner, Danielle Ransom stated, I think track is beneficial because it gives you self confidence and a good attitude towards running. uTrack is a lot of hard work, said freshman distance runner Amy Parsil, but it all seems to be worth it after the race is over and you've won. A few freshmen were given the opportunity to try out for the varsity team. To make the team, they had to be faster than some of the varsity runners. To run varsity, a runner had to be able to beat the varsity runners consis- tently, and there were not too many who could accom- plish that, commented Mr. Gray.
