Boys ' Track Run, sweat, and cheers Track has always been a sport in which an individual can achieve his highest potential. It is a sport which challenges the athlete to compete against himself. Although track may seem a lonely sport, it is really one of intense teamwork, for all members of the team support one another as they compete in their individual categories. The 1981 Boys ' Track Team, coached by Mr. Bucky Butler, continued as an excellent example of individual team work. Team members practiced after school to increase speed and maintain physical fitness. Although practices took up much of their free time, the members felt it was well worth it. And with the urging of Coach Butler, the team was victorious at its meets. TOP: Frank Myles, junior, runs his leg of a relay race.

Girls ' Track team of individuals The only cheers that were heard were from other teammates, parents, and the coach. Although the girls ' track team had very few fans they had pride and never lost their determination. This personal drive was seen in Erin Peters who, among others competed in the 1981 state track meet. The team held practice every day at Twin Lakes High School. The girls practiced forty-minute dis- tance runs, speed intervals and twice a week worked on field events such as long jump or shot put. Hurdle and high jump techniques were perfected after hours of practice, too. Senior Megan Mosser explained, Track makes you disci- plined bacause you have to push yourself at practice. You don ' t have a team to fall back on if you slack off. Each member of the team worked hard and their effort was evident in the meets. After the gun went off and the girls came out of the blocks, every bit of energy was used until the end of the race. Each girl had the determination to do her best whether she was competing against three others or fifteen others. The cheers they heard in their minds kept them going throughout the season. 94 SPORTS TOP: Team Captain Jennifer Ash crosses the finish line to a first place victory.
