She established a record of 80'1 and then broke it with a throw of 81’9 . I felt good breaking a record, even though it was my own, it shows that I’m improving and my goal is to keep doing better,” added Terry. The relay team, which had two wins in the 1600 meter, consisted of Terry Nolting, Lana Mings, Sandy Teltoe and Tricia Gommel. In Lana Mings’ opinion, Even though this season wasn’t very successful overall, we had a pretty good time and winning the relay was a high point for me. One thing that went against us this season was the number of injuries there were, but we all stuck together and gave it our best shot and I think that is what makes a team. iff i rn Claudette Johns crosses the finish line ahead of two Edinburgh runners in the 100 meter dash.

Rick Maley places all of his strength behind the shot put at Edinburgh. Rick's distance of 42’7 was enough to put him in first place. Against The Clock “Our chief opponent is the clock. A clock is always there and you run against it, not your opponent. It doesn't matter how you do against your opponent, but how you do against the clock, spoke track coach Butch Jordan. Sprinters need the God-given gift of speed. You can't make a sprinter, only develop his technique. A distance runner needs endurance, mental and physical. He also needs the ability to work alone. A field event person needs jumping ability, strength and quickness. The boys' varsity track team's highlight of the season came when they finished third in the conference. Also at the conference several track members broke individual records with one relay team breaking the high school 1600 meter relay record. Those who broke their own personal records were Doug Gelzleichter in the long jump, Daron Taylor in the 400 meter run, Jon Titus in the 800 meter run, and Mark Tindall and Rick Martinez in the 3200 meter run. The 1600 meter relay team, consisting of Gary Jessee, Mark Voils, Pat McQueen, Rick Maley and Troy Love broke the previous year's team record of 3:47.0 with a time of 3:45.1 and qualified for the regional. Sophomore Daron Taylor also qualified for the regional as did Jonathan Titus and Mark Tindall. “I think everyone was really psyched up about placing in the conference as a team, so they really did well in their own individual events, offered Mark Voils. We really did better than we thought we would at the start of the season and hopefully we will improve this summer and be even better next year, said Rick Maley. 28 Boys' Track
