, x 4 TREKKING THE TRACK s, , -3 4 . . , W . Gaithersburg, fielding one of the larg- est track teams in recent years, had a suc- cessful season in l958. Coached by Adam Zetts, the boys began in March to prepare for the oncoming meets by doing strenu- ous exercises and a lot of hard running. The hard practice paid off because the Tro- ians placed second in the County Meet for Class B and C schools, and third in the Damascus Invitational. With all but two boys returning, this year's track team is expected to be even better.
