Xp 1 ,. A... , we Track squads notch impressive seasons by unning away from the estern AA Sweep Divisional Championshipsg place high at state What can you say? The 1984 boys' and girls' track teams at Big Sky topped otf an excellent sports year at the school with dual divisional charnpionships. Then the boys grabbed second in state while the girls took third. It had been a steady climb for the teams under boys' Coach Russ Pilcher and girls' mentor Jay Christopher. They capped the year off in fine form with the strong showings. Behind individual championships from K. C. McGowan in the high jump and Ron Hanson 1.I'1 the 400 meter run. Marti Leibenguth won her second consecutive state trophy in the javelin with a state record 163 feet. She was among the top 10 throwers in the country in 1984. However, the two teams were characterized more by their team depth than by individual performances. It was the second and third place finishes from individuals and relay teams which spelled success for both teams. In the long run. the character of the teams meant they wouldn't have a chance for state championships. But for both teams, the trophies were a sweet taste of hard work since the opening ofthe school year. Neither coach is predicting the same success from the teams in 1985, because the departure of stalwart performers has weakned both squads. But athletes predicted continued success in 1985. We have a reputation now, and we have to live up to it. said discus mrower Emme Tuckett. People expect a lot from us because we did well last year. Tuckett had plans to challenge for the state title in the discuss. Pilcher commented. Every year the kids who come achieve some success. They may not be a charnp but if they see progress. we'll do well. Senior Dave Dilman said, I'd like to make it to state and make it in the first tive lin the shot and discusJ. He added he has a goal to set a new school record. Brent Schneeman said, I'd like to be a division champ in at least two events and place in the top three in all events in state. Schneeman competed in 100 meter. 200 meter and relays. Pilcher predicted that the team would be the strongest in the throwing events in 1985, but added that the hurdlers could also improve dunng the year. Girls' coach Jay Christopher said that he hopes the team will do as well as last year. Dismnce runner Loreen McRae agains has goals of finishing in the top three at state in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs. Whatever the result. the teams have now establish- ed a tradition to shoot for. IN THE CHASE - Holly Cummings ileftl and 1984 grad Rene Thibodeau at- tempt to catch up in the hurdles. Cummings was a team leader in 1985. TRACK THE EFFORT - Nick Larson strains for extra yardage in the long jump. He competed for the Eagles in an effort to repeat as Divisional champs. THE LONG TURN - Shelly Salmonsen and Marylynn Webb make the turn in the mile run in a 1984 meet. Both girls led the Eagles into competi- tion in 1985. UP AND OVER - Jett Stevenson was a top competitor in 1984. Stevenson competed in golf in 1985. Track - 139
