Winter Trackmen Collect Their Gold Mike Diorka and Tom Brophy coached tJie 1976-77 winter track team through a fine season. The squad collected 66 medals to make a five year total of 367o Numerous runners deserve particular attention for their contributions. Providing needed leadership were tri -captains Bob Voorhees, Dan Skane, and Tom Schellenger. Voorhees and Skane were repeatedly cited for their achievements, especially with regard to the two mile relay. Teamed with Mark Marion and Ken Kapner, they set a division record for the Philadelphia Track Coaches As- sociation and placed second in both Princeton ' s Meet of Cham- pions and the Indoor State Meet. These accomplishments brought an invitation to Easterns, where they finished eighth in a field of 20. The four lap relav team of Dom DiPaul, Ed Jackmon, Steve DiAntonio, and Bill Chalfant ran consistently well. DiPaul was also a strong performer in both the mile and 880 relays. Marion merits added mention for his efforts in the 600 yard run, and Shawn Brown, whose specialty was the two mile run, should also be applauded. Coach Diorka directs the troops. A successful Valley hand-off. Dom DiPaul tenses for victory. Sophomore Barb Brown strikes a blow for women ' s lib.
