A . 'lu I' r' l' Q' M 11 'YF' During the East Metric meet, Craig Dagan- hart runs the steeplechase event for West. Coach Boo Kritzer . outs VVesf's track team Coach Bob Kritzer cut the track team for the first time this year. This gave team members the individual at- tention they needed and also gave them longer work-out periods. Sophomores and juniors made up 85 percent of the track team. The young tracksters gained experience in meets which will help them to a suc- cesful season next year. Dragons did not do very well in the Western Ohio League meet, placing tenth. Jeff Corron set a new record in the high jump clearing six feet five and one quarter inches. This jump broke the West record as well as the Western Ohio League record. Outstanding discus throwers, Tim Zechar and Jeff Lecklider, received help from 1973 Fairmont West record holder Nick Becker. Nick came to practices as often as he could to help Tim and Jeff improve on their form and execution. Junior John Thomas set a new rec- ord in the pole vault event while competing in the Dayton Relays meet held at Welcome Stadium. John won the meet with his vault of 14 feet even. Coach Kritzer commended John on his outstanding ability. Captain Jeff Schelling, also an out- standing team member, competed in 9K 3 i 5 i ' if , 2 j 1 i X , t 'ggi F the half-mile event for the West track team. One of the few seniors who went out for the track team, Jeff ran for West all three years. Fairmont East's athletic director, James Ehler added a new event to the regular events held in the East Metric meet. The event added, the steeple chase, consisted of obstacles for the competors to clear. Coach Kritzer said, Since the team was mostly underclassmen this year. West won't be losing too many people. l'm really looking forward to next year's season and the team. , BOYS TRACK WEST OPPON ENT 55 Beavercreek 72 102 Wayne 25 .
