Mr. Kos ' s frack team overpowered any and all opponents for a 7-0 season. Their strength and skill earned them 2nd place out of 19 schools in the regionals. Most of the existing school records were shat- tered by a team of predominantly seniors. Randy Busscher proved his ability in setting new records in the 180 low hurdles, the long jump, and the 120 high hurdles. Bryan Sale vaulted his way to 11 ' 8 4 and Steve ' an Doornik ran his way to a record in the 880 yard run. The mile relay team and the 880 relay team combined their efforts and timing to set new records for the school. Although the seniors were strong, Mike Lampen proved his value by setting a new record in the mile run. Mr. Kos will certainly miss Randy Busscher and the other se- niors, but has a fine team of underclassmen preparing to set all new records again ne.xt year. Steve shows broad jump is stienuous work. fh Randy breaks the tape for another record. Left to right— 1st row— R. Haverdink, L. Overbeek, . I. Reuschel, M. Lohman, B. D kstra, M. Kraker, D.
