Ready, on your feet 6 running Beke ve it or not but one of the more highly participated in sport, which is also the same sport that most people would not even think of taking place in, is track. 'Hou know, where you run endlessly around a cir- cle not really getting anywhere, but only to find that last lap and the i-'lNlSH UNE. To many of us, this seems use- less, but for some, who could pass up going for the thrill of winning and the agony of defeat! ln fact, over 200 students at BSJH went for this thrill in 7988. Filong with these students, 70 coaches were there ready and wilkng to hem. These coaches were.- Dan McLau- ghlin, Hen Moehlman, Frank Gross and assistant coaches: Steve Hop- kins, Mike Helly, i-iobert Marble, C on- nie Spears, Larry LUalton, Lori Voung, student teacher Jamie Mackender hekaed with shot put.

Erhausted from running, Jenny Hllmon, beside Dayle Dryer, forces herself to take a few last steps to Coach Voung before having to turn around and run back to Coach Gross. For those of us who do not ac- quire a taste for running, there are always other combinations of track such as discus, shot put, high jump, long jump and pole vault. These skills use more of the upper body muscles rather than the lower body muscles. Hltogether, track is an all around sport, which for many, can be a strug- gle, but for those few who stick with it throughout the track season, it can increase lung capacity, build endur- ance and improve overall health.
