Three boys went to state, and all placed in the top lO. The team brought home the lst place trophy for the Walker Relays and the 2nd place trophy for the Pittsburgh Relays. Steve Bartholomew broke the school record with AZ'-OH in the triple jump, and Danny Musick broke the school record with l28'-AH in the discus. The year had its disappointments however, when a starting mishap disqualified the mile relay team, which Coach Laffoon had expected to place high in both district and state meets. Also, Coach Laffoon commented that, HThe year was not as good as it could have been, because too many people were more con- cerned with their individual performance than they were about the team's achievements.H 51 Tmevwg
