RUNNING TO VICTOR Y The key to the i984 track team was the one-hundred percent commitment of ev- ery team member to strive for excellence to be number one. The track team, who was led by Coach Don Molloy and assisted by Coach Ben Steelhead Sr., enforced hard work outs, which seemed to pay off. The physical preparation for competition came alive when the track team ran against their well matched opponents from the Rio Hondo League. As for strong points, Sam Morgan led in sprints, Harry Johnson led in hurdles, Suresh Krishnan led in distance. An impressive relay team was composed of Darryl Austin, Darryl Harvey, Sam Morganjand Chris Martin. As the season began, there was much optimism for a successful team. Victory came against cross-town rivalry, P.H.S. and those hopes were secured. The team members displayed talent and potential during the season. As the first invitational track meet came, the overall points gave Blair a remarkable victory over the ten schools that competed. With the individ- ual performance of every team member, the l984 track team was one of the better teams that Blair has produced. As the sea- son ended, Blair had taken another league championship. The Soph-Frosh team displayed as much enthusiasm as the Varsity team, and pos- sesed potential and talent as well. The most promising members on the Soph- Frosh team were Anthony Beaty, Doug Galindo, and Pat Bodenshot. f.j ' ' f .-,K '-r v. . K ' ' vcd-., 'V '- . -sf-, .. -, L. -- fs.,-N . ,, A ,- 5. .51 - ..
