Men's and women's teams short on numbers Individuals qualify for nationals We had our ups and downs this year, said Men's Track Coach Dan Shannahan about Making a point-Jolene Ostmeyer, sophomore, stresses her opinion to Coach Stagaard about an upcoming event. Maximum strength-Freshman Kurt Neelly uses every muscle in order to get the greatest distance in the discus. his first year as coach. Although the team was small in numbers, two in- dividuals qualified for na- tional competition in Odessa, Texas. Sam Schwerdtfeger jumped 6'10 in the high jump and Chris Ware threw the javelin 195 feet to qualify them. Schwerdtfeger was a ix ,, , t .H-N . . fm a aww aw freshman from Buhler and Ware was a freshman from Albuquerque, N.M. As a team, the Busters finished 6th in the conference. The Regional meet was hosted at Barton County. The team finished ahead of Dodge City, Kansas City, Butler County, Allen County and Fort Scott. I enjoyed beating Butler, Shannahan said. Another respectable finish took place at johnson County where the team placed 9th out of 18. lt didn't go too bad, but not as well as I had hoped, Shannahan said.

The three sophomores: Jolene Ostmeyer, Kelly Young and Shirlene Hall competed in the middle distance events which included 400, 800 and 1500 meters. It didn't turn out like I thought but I certainly wasn't disappointed, Stagaard said. Attrition at the semester had a profound affect on our abili- ty to compete. Sophomore Shirlene Hall qualified for the Indoor Na- tional Championships, and ac- cording to Stagaarql, her effort was quality. Other years we've had big- ger teams, some more talented, but none with this level of commitment to com- pete like these kids, he said.
