Young Team Shows Talent 9th, J.V., S Varsity Teams have productive season With only eight returning Seniors, the 1985 Crockett Boys Varsity Track team had a considerably good season.

We had great leadership by our coaches and returning Seniors, stated Senior Michael Ford. 4 '-fi to place at the South Austin Relays. We worked together great as a team in our workouts and at the meets. Senior Mike Ford This year the Varsity and Junior Var- sity teams participated in some of the state's most competetive meets, which included the Wildcat Relays in Temple, the Rockett Relays in San Antonio, the Eagle Relays in Killeen, and the Stingaree Relays in Victoria. I think we did pretty well in all the meets, commented Sophomore David Ard, we got a lot accomplished this year, especially on the Junior Varsity level. We learned a lot of things that will help us next year? At the District Meet, the Varsity team scored 27 points to take fifth place. Senior Gary Shelly led the team in points when he placed first in the Pole Vault with a height of 12 consisted of Senior Kevin Ard, Ford, Junior William Glenn, and Pennick, placed sixth with a time of 3:34.1. Pen- nick and Shelly both qualified to com- pete in their events at the Regional Meet in San Antonio on May 4th, The Junior Varsity team placed third overall at the meet with 63 points. The J.V team was lead by Sophomores and Juniors Keith Gavia, Rudy Canalas, David Ard, Chris Graham, and Isidro Rodriguez. The Freshman team also placed third in their division with 51 points. The Freshman team was led in points by Gil Mojica, who placed first in both the 1600M and 800M runs with a record-breaking time of 4:52 and 2:08, respectfully. Mojica, whose best in the 1600 was a 4:40, remained undefeated the enitre season and scored well over 75 points on the J.V and Freshman levels. I'm looking forward to next year's team because the guys on J.V this year will be running Varsity and we should be really competetive against great teams like District champs L.B.J and runners-up Reagan, commented Ard, by:James Erben Frehman Gil Mojica wins yet another Jumior Varsity 1600 meter the Wildcat Relays.

They 're handed two defeats soon afterwards ren they narrowly lost to L.B.J. 2-3 and cCallum 3-7. Coach Connor Grady said Q that since they were such a young team this was a factor in their inconsistancy. The players felt that they had secured second place when they tromped over San Marcos 11-1, but they were to lose their last two games by one point each when they lost to Austin High 2-3 and Travis 1- 23 they had previously beaten both teams.

We lost one guy the first six weeks but he was able to play the re- mainder of the season when he brought his grades up. Next year Coach Grady expects to have a more consistant team since there will be a large number of returning players. by James Erben J.V. Baseball front row: J. Cox, M. Martinez, R. Kennard, R.
