weetness in motion is the only way to describe the '83 men's track team. The guys improved in every aspect of competition, and received a hard-fought, well deserved 3rd place in overall league results. The team was led by a fantastic group of Seniors. Among them were Eric Witten- berg, who was MVP and a tri-captain. He was third in the state in the mile. He also took a first at regionals and second at Oakland County in the mile. At league meet he was league champ in the mile and two-mile, and at both regionals and county was second in the two-mile. John Mullett was another Senior leader. Also a tri-captain, he was the vocal force that got the team up for meets - and cheered every runner on. John earned, for the second year, the coaches award. His dedication to the team was an inspiration to every member. john took second in the league in the 800 run. Tim Turczyn was the third tri-captain for his work in field events.

The team's future - sophomores and freshmen earned valuable experience from upperclassmen. A few outstanding runners from the lower school earned Varsity letters: Steve Wadle, Steve Johnson, Bill Cox, Pete Roberts, and jim Decker were the sprint-power of the team and showed much potential. An overall cameraderie was enjoyed by each and every member, and bus rides home from meets win or lose were filled with off-key versions off t'Boardwalk', and California Dreamin '. The Banquet on June 6th reinforced the teams togetherness. Mock awards were given to those deser- vant, coaches presented honors, and everyone realized the effect of the loss of graduating seniors. 1983 was the year Seaholm made it's move towards the top of the SMA, and all involved came away with a deep feeling of satisfaction. O Www KURT MILLS HAD the comeback of the season for the team. After breaking his hip in the lst meet, he fought back in regionals, throwing a school record 154'4 , but missed state by only I .
