Low Participation, High Achievers Track Most members of the 1981 Marshall track team sug- gested that if there had been more -participants, it would have been a better season. The major problem was that we needed more people, stated Sophomore Ta Tzu Lee. Another problem was the rainy and windy weath- er, explained Freshman Heather Booth. Despite these problems, individual tracksters were still able to reach outstanding achievements. Junior Kristie Jones traveled 27.2 in the 200 meters and 63.9 in the 400 meters. Freshman Art Sanchez cruised to 2125.8 in the 800 meters and 4:56 in the 1500 meters. Senior Phil Butkins showed the biggest improvement by heaving the 16 pound shot 41' 35 and tossing the discuss 113'. The women and men tracksters both had three wins and seven losses. The following people placed in the district track meet: Sophomore Wilbert Antoine, first in the high jump and third in the 100 meter hudlesg Fresh- man Chris Busby, third in the 200 meter dash, Sopho- more Shelly Regimbal, first in javeling Freshman Sarah Freeman, second in the high jump, Art Sanchez, third in the 800 meter dash and Freshman Serome James, sec- ond in the shot put. The top performers were Wilbert Antoine in high jump and hurdles and Chris Busby in 100, 200, 400 relay and 160 relay, stated Coach Chet Green. The women tracksters placed fifth in the city meet while the men tracksters placed seventh. The two people that qualified for the state meet were Kristie Jones, second in the 400 meter at district, and Senior Sherry Anderson, second in the long jump at district. Anderson placed fifth in state in the long jump but Jones was unable to attend due to illness. My goal in high school track is to get the basic fundamentals of hurdling out of the way so that in col- lege I can continue my hurdling and get myself mentally as well as physically prepared for further competitions in the future, expressed Senior Carol Montminy. CONCENTRATION shows in the faces of Sophomore Ta Tzu Lee and Senior Donald Arct as they near the finish line of the 3000 meter run.
