Frosh Cinderrnen Lack Depth, Gain Experience Despite a lack of numbers and depth, Catalina's Fresh- man track squad entered the season with spirit and determination. Leading the team were all-around-man V4 Ried Ehlenberg, field man Craig Gillaspie, and distance runner Glenn Rothro-ck. In the season opener, they lost a dual meet with Tucson 38-66. Lack of depth proved to be the Troian's downfall as they were able to gain only five first places and a handfull of seconds and thirds, while the Badger Cubs used their depth to make clean sweeps in many events. In the next meet, this e , W ,, handicap was again prevalent as Rincon handed the f freshmen a 62-42 defeat. Frosh Coach Lee Morton said if the team was able to gain needed pole vaulters and O ,. distance runners, they could finish above the .5006 mark.

Opening the season with two straight victories, Cata- lina's Junior Varsity track squad got off to a flying start in their quest for Catalina's second straight city Junior Varsity track championship. A humiliating de- feat of Rincon, 80-33, started the J.V. season. Follow- ing this was a 68-45 win over Amphi. Shot putter Dale Groshon, discus thrower Larry Racer, and distance run- ners Jim Balogh and George Cunningham led the team this year. According to coach Bill Kaiser, the Jayvee's were well balanced and could become one of the best Junior Varsity Track squads ever produced at Catalina. A shortness in the sprints and weights were the only deficits that the Junior Trojans had. Hard practices and work helped overcome these minor weak- nesses and developed a promising team. 1, Coach Bill Kaiser rf' ' f 2 x V ,.., T E I . if...a'

Coach Gale Bell. 3, t WH Led by State Champion runner John Donner, the cross-country te-am ended the season with a 6 win, 'l loss, and 'l tie record. In addition, the team came in second in the state meet, behind powerful Phoenix Union. Donner, who was undefeated in nine meets -this year, now holds every cross-country record in the state, and in addition is the second State Cham- pion runner from Catalina, giving C.H.S. the unique position of being the only school in the state to have had two cross-country state champions. Catalina's only loss of the year in dual meets came from Pueblo in a 29-28 count. In other meets, the Troians defeated Rincon, Tucson, Amphi, and Salpointe while running a 28-28 dead heat with State Champion Phoenix Union. The Junior Varsity and Freshman Squads also had successful seasons. The Jayvees racked up a 4-1-l season record, tying for the city Champion- ship with Rincon, while the Freshmen had a 2-'I year. 5 4 Y t 'Q ,,, 7?f J, ,,. State Champion runner John Donner
