The team ended the season with the determination to start with a winning streak next year. The squad consisted of mostly Freshmen, with only two returning starters from last year, Kendra Pratt and Sheena Bryant. As the season progressed, the team showed a lot of improvement in their abilities as individuals and as a team. Looks like Ramona will get this jump ball.

Track Tigers’ Future Looks “Bright” For 1985 Season Mike Hofstetter grits his teeth as he endures his turn in the 3200 meter relay. The 1984 Varsity Track Tigers added to the collection of successful sports teams during the past school year. The Tigers, guided by coaches Rich Bright, Vicki Sheets and Ron Malone, placed second in the Cahokia Conference meet at Red Bud. This was the highest a Dupo team has placed in several years. The Tigers placed fifth in the O’Fallon Relay an honor that may not seem so great. Considering that Dupo was the smallest school at the meet, and the schools they competed against had over 1000 students, fifth place was an excellent finish. Another highlight of the season was a first place tie with Freeburg for small schools in the St. Clair County meet. The Freshman Sophomore team finished fourth in the annual Dupo Freshman Sophomore Invitational. These results are a good indication that the Tigers will be definite contenders for the conference title next year. The team will lose only two members, seniors Bob Jerashen and Jeff Thielemann. The Tigers had many individuals who earned high honors as two school records were broken. The record breaking team of Dale White, Carlos Foster, Jim Williams and Brian Mehrtens posted a time of 3:29:00 in the 1600 meter relay. The 3200 meter relay team had the most successful season for the Tigers. The four man team of Jeff Thielemann, Jim Williams, Mike Hofstetter and Brian Mehrtens posted a time of 8:28:02 to break the school record. They were also the All Conference squad and qualified for the IHSA State Track Meet at Eastern Illinois University. With the experience the team got this past year, they should be one of the top teams in the area next year.
