124f: Makin' rat: They may not make Wheaties com- mercials but the track team sure did work long and hard this year - well hard enough to take first place in their division. It was a combination of tough workouts a good coach and of course the fine athletic abilities of the team that earned them a first place in divisionals. The Hawk track team hasn t been tops in their division since they were ranked as a Class A school. Before track practice started last winter the talk from the soon-to-be- tracksters was a little less than optimistic. Yeah l had him in football and I think he s gonna be a real hard core. The team found out soon enough that Coach J im Polich believes in hard work and a winning team. The team got in a little extra running practice this year. Since the high school doesn t have a track they had to run about a mile to the MSU track and THEN they got to start their workout. Sounds fun huh? Getting into shape isn t the only they that makes a winning team. Talent has a lot to do with it - it does in any sport. This year the track team definitely had a talent. There s even a chance that next year s team will be able to keep up the good name. 0 ' I I I I I I ls the new coach gonna be tough?

k'n' r ks H I Oops lost my arm' Eric Deeg hurls Track? No, track and field. The 1979 track and field season could be a good lesson to those who neglect the recognition of field events. The field events were the key to putting the Hawks on top at divisionals and state. With Mark Cary placing first in the triple jump and jeff Shouse taking the javelin event, the Hawks were off to a good start at state. Others comprising Bozeman's fiftl' place score were Dudley Scott - 3rd ir the 100 yard dash and 4th in the 220 yard dashg Todd Peterson - 4th in the triple jump and 5th in the long jumpg Andy Bailey - Sth in the discusg Bruce Barnhart, jim Kunda, Mark Gary and Dudley Scott in the 440 yard relay. The girls team finished in ninth place, paced by Julie Wolney who placed second in the 880 yard run. Her time was identical to the first place time so a photo was used to determine the winner. Karen Gibson made her mark in the distance runs by placing third in the two mile and fourth in the one mile. '-
