Being captain has a lot of peeled teh tea i ES harder than most people think. Before the meets I have to make sure everyone is stretched out and ready for their particular event. --Dave Stahl Captain Jon Holland concentrates on his technique as he attempts the pole vault.

This year, the word successful could be defined in two ways. The first is in the dictionary where it is interpreted and the second could be related to the EMHS boys' track team which had its share of success. For instance, at the beginning of the season, the Chargers weren't expected to be “allsthate gqood=.ee bur because of some excellent team efforts and a superior coaching staff, the Chargers were able to silence their Critics. After beating state-ranked crosstown rival Elkhart Central in a Northern Indiana Conference (NIC) meet, it was goodbye opponents, hello Championship as the Chargers were on their way to an undefeated 9-0 conference record and the undisputed title. The kids didn't get much recognition because of Central, but they have something the Blazers don't, and that's the conference championship, said head coach Jim Eger. Not only did the team win the conference, but they also won their own Charger Invitational for the fifth time in 12 years with an overwhelming 96 points, 25 ahead of second-place Penn. When it came time for the sectionals, the Chargers were faced with tough competition in sixth-ranked Central and number 20 Goshen. Karl Werner won the discus at 140'11 to become the Chargers' only champion. With 70 points, they finished third behind the two ranked teams. The Chargers were able to send eight men to the regionals. Dave Stahl, who was second in the 800 and 16 Boys' Track Boys take NIC track title sixth in the 1600, Matt Grubb, third in the 800, Matt Ronzone, third in the 1600, Victor Washington, third in the 100, Dennis Griffen, third in the 3200, Eddie Henderson, fourth in pole vault, and Brad McCain, fourth in the long jump, all qualified. Junior Terry Kern said, We are doing so well because we just don't have a 'superstar.' When we win, it's a team victory. If one statement could tie the team's season together, it would have to be the one by Werner when he said, This team has proved what hard work, discipline, unity, and a good coaching staff can do for YOurs --Douglas Brown FIRST ROW: Chris Carl, Nate Roll, Rod Williams, Glen Uebler, Craig Nichols, Shawn Jordan, Brian Stamper, Willie Graham.
