TRACK: The Universal Language Following earlier spr- ing sports, track took the position as last of the 1980-81 athletic season. Because of this, the team was in good physical condition. The track team had some of the finest athletes at- tending East Bay. Their coach, George Goff, held practices every day after school. The team competed against some of the best 4A schools in the state. Their 3A status gave them the added incen- tive to win. ln reference to this, Coach Goff said, . .. there are some 4A schools that realize when they compete against East Bay there are some events in which they will have no chances. Overall the team did uite well, usually lfinishing second in a tri-meet. Districts were held at Chamberlain High School on April 24th. East Bay Hig School hosted the regionals on May 1st. Team captains were: seniors Richard Massaro and Vincent Pittman, and juniors Scot Clark and Wesley Brown. Coach Coffalso commented on his players, ... the most improved athlete in the fied events was most definitely Kevin Killebrew, I feel he was capable of setting a school record in the pole vault. One can never say enou h about athletes liie jimmy Buckridge, Wesley Brown, Scot Clark and Ted Myles. Coach Goff also added, Years a o, there were individguals who believed that music was the universal language, but no more, now it is athletics.
