Tracksters Improve Our record was only 2-3 in dual meet competition, but tlvye still had a very rewarding season, said Track Coach erry McLaughlin. Many team members broke their in- dividual records every succeeding meet - that's pro- gressl Standouts were field events captain Adriano Bortolin in the shotput, Randy Scott in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, lohn Bradbury in the long and triple jumps, Reggie King in the high and triple jumps, and Andrew Smith in the hurdles and the mile run. Coach McLaughlin expects at least four of these tracksters to go on to college track eams. All are seniors whose graduation will leave a gap in he team's ranks next year. Many team members took advantage of a weight train- ing program designed to improve their strength and en- urance. In addition, long Slow Distance runs were em- loyed to build stamina, sprints were run to increase peed, and a flexibility program was used to encourage Iimberness.
