l 1 -I ,f Y .4 I 1 Growing by Leaps and Bounds Sprinting off to their best sea- son ever, the boy's track team finished the i984 season second in the Beach District standings. The team's winning ways were continued in post season com- petition where they recorded im- pressive performances in the dis- trict and regional meets. The team finished second only to First Colonial in districts and beat all other beach teams in the regional meet held at Todd Sta- dium in Newport News. In an earlier meet held at Todd Stadium, the 2-mile relay team of Shane Larkin, David Coulter, Walter Smith, and Noel Wick took home the only Green Run medal, but many other runners came on strong in the regional meet to show just how much im- provement could be made in a month's time. Multietalented individuals were a contributing factor in the teams successi Doug West, Dar rin Seals, David Coulter, and Don Moore could be counted on to place in several events. This was also a year for record breaking. Chris Auger set a new school record in the pole vault. Don Moore eclipsed the previous record in the long jump. Mike Lawton sprinted to a new record in the 200-meter dash, and David Coulter outdistanced all others on his way to a new record in the mile run. With the momentum they cre- ated in their victory over Cox, the boy's track team was able to compile a four and two record, setting a precedent for the future and rewriting the past. - Alisa Corbett A ff - A L A ine ABOVE LEFT: Chris Auger had grace ABOVE: With a form that was second to match power, vaulting to first place to none, Darlene Stoll placed second in in the district. the high jump in the district meet.

Diamonds in the rough A solid, veteran infield with experienced players in promi- nent roles was the key to the baseball team's success en route to a lO-7 record, We were a young team, said CoachGuyl-tyatt, butallofour seniors not only started, they starred. Whenever a team is so com- pletely driven by graduating seniors, the next year can signal a letdown, but Paul Adams didn't predict that to happen, I think our underclassmen can step into the vacant positions and do an admirable job, Adams said, lf they do, you can expect us to be in postseason DlOY-H Coach l-lyatt cited Stanley Layden ostheteam'smostvalu- able player. Layden batted .395 and was the team captain. Dave Elepano and Layden re- ceived First Team All-Beach honors, and Don Easton and Chuck lrrer were Second Team choices. The highlight of the season, said l-lyatt, was get- ting so many players on the All- Beach team.
