Track lthough the 1985 Track Team was nearly invincible in running events, without additional prowess in the field events the team would never have been so good. Pole vaulters are a unique group. They practice for long hours, isolated on their end of the field. Led by Coach Dave Ladd, the vaulters enjoyed an especially strong season in 1985. Junior Henry Gonzalez led the vaulters with his expe- rience and ability, and sophomore David Lee improved dramatically as the year progressed. These two will return next year with junior Chris Dawes to form an especially strong group. . Another isolated group was the weight menf' This . j group includes the shotput throwers and discus throwers. 1 j With shotputter Ariel Acebo coming within four inches of the school record, and discus man Phil Tucker placing at districts, the weight men were. an integral part of the squad's success. Long jumping was yet another strong point on the field for the Tigers. Senior Frank Fernandez jumped over twenty feet at districts, and sophomore Akim Williams scored a key first place in the Tampa Catholic meet. Junior Matt Larussa was the teams premier high jumper and often scored key points. The highlight of the fine 1985 season almost certainly had to be the first defeat of TC in ten years. The Tigers didn't lose a dual meet all year, and a third place finish in districts shows the kind of success Coach Bill Alexander has been able to achieve with Jesuit Track. Q- Winning Again.
