The coaches are especially opti- mistic after last year ' s successful frosh-soph team. Under the coaching of Mr. Fedinec and Mr. Stark, the Benet frosh-soph track team regained the conference crown at Marmion last May. Don Drabik dominated the hurdles to win two blue ribbons. Justin Hlavin won both the high and triple jumps. Other point scorers included John Wiesin- ger (second in the long and triple jumps) John O ' Fallon (second in the two mile), Mark Boss (third in the 400m. run), and the second place 3200m. relay team. A strong crop of sophomores is Be- net ' s hope if the Varsity is to regain the conference championship next season. Above Center: Vince Becker sets his goal. Left: John DeSitter perfecting his form.

Led by coaches Mr. James Fogarty and Miss Stephanie Lewis, the Girls ' Track Team finished with a record of 7-0 in dual triangular meets. The team finished first place in confer- ence above the tough I.C. Knights. Jane Sachetti also qualified to com- pete in the Class AA state meet and placed 24th in the 400m dash. The team ' s success may, in part, be due to its attempt to bring unity through a team retreat and other various activi- ties besides practice. The team not only knows how to run, jump, and throw, but also how to celebrate the good times!
