if fo- P7 ka 4' With intense concentration, Betina Messner and Jennifer Thompson strive to overtake opponents in the Sacramento Iamboree at CSUS. Jumping up, Karen Tiner, Kristie Tiner, and Traci Giordano limber with an easy workout following their meet the previous day. T N IMPRESSIVE START raises hopes'for the Girls' Track team as they begin their season with high expectations and several victories Through the i drizzling rain, the runners plodded on to a fourth place finish T amongst the eighteen teams present at the Sacramento Iam- boree, which was held on March 13 at CSUS. This impressive start for the Girls' Track team began with victories in their first two meets against a variety of op- ponents such as Bella Vista, Grant, and Casa Roble. Their excellent begin- 'ning was not, however, accomplished without a tremendous amount of hard work and dedi- cation. We have really hard workouts, but it helps to condition us, said Iean Spangenberg. The hard work was promoted by their coach Nancy Severance who had coached track at Del Campo for two years and also had previous coach- ing experience. An ac- complished runner, Se- verance won the Nat- ional Championships for Sacramento State Uni- versity in the 800, and was also ranked fourth in the United States. I feel that my running experience gives me a necessary insight into the girls styles and individ- ual needs and also allows me to know their ca- pabilities, said Sever- ance. Her excellent coaching, was supplemented by the help of two assistant coaches, Mary Aude and Iennifer Johnson. Aude and Johnson also had previous running ex- perience, but all three coaches focused on separ- ate events. While Iohn- son worked on field events and Aude with the sprinters, Severance put her attention to- wards the long distance runners. With the combined talent of the coaches and the runners, the team expressed aspirations as to the outcome of their season. The coaching is tougher this year, but because of it we work harder and are a better team, said Sarah Smith. Girls' Track
