Paved by a nucleus of veterans and sophomores, the track team had a very successful season. It boasted of an impres- sive 5-l-1 record and was undefeated in the C.C.I.L. competition. The highlight of the season was a surprisingly easy upset victory in the Greater Hartford Meet. The team had fourteen lettermen including eight seniors. Heading this group were co-captains Bob Curran and Don Weitz. Bob was the state pole vault champ and won many other major meets. His best jump was 12 feet in the East- ern Sectional Meet. Weitz ran the 220 yard dash and high jumped. He also anchored the Chieftain's relay team. Carl Peterson threw the discus and shot put. His best effort was a first place in the discus in the Greater Hart- ford Meet. Tom Lee also performed well in the shot put and was the team's best javelin thrower. Dave Johnson picked up many points for Conard in the high jump. Our top half miler was Lonnie O'Meara, a converted sprinter. O'Meara won his 880 yard races with strong finishing kicks. Joe Cassano broad jumped and sprinted. His best leap in the broad jump was 20 feet 3 inches. Steve Chan began hurdling in his senior year and quickly developed into a top hurdler. Chan won the 180 yard low hurdles in the Greater Hartford Meet. Coach Richard Tracey. ably assisted by weight coach, Robert Kramer. worked hard to bring the squad into shape. Their efforts helped to develop a potentially good team into a winning team. ROH I F Hornburch J Cassano P Peterson D man, H. Lauer, R. Ravizza, G. Davis, A. Grotheer, B.
