Track and Field Eight Lettermen Return from Last Year With eight returning lettermen from the 1968 district champion squad, the 1969 Raiders track team was well prepared for the season. These lettermen included Alan Moore, Leven Deputy, James Hen- dricks, Rickey Wheeler, James Whisenant, Gene Sanders, Jerry Carpenter and Mike Bayer. The workouts began early in the 2nd semester with head Coach Glen Swenson handling the track events and Coach Wally Freytag taking charge of the field events. The Reagan spikers participated in a meet every week from the middle of February to the middle of April. Several of the more important meets included the Blinn College Invitational in Brenham, the Aldine meet, the New Braunfels meet, the Austin Invitational, the district meet, the A M Consolidated meet in Bryan, the Texas Relays and the Regional meet. A special addition to Reagan ' s schedule was the Federation National track meet in the Astrodome, where the Raiders performed along side of several Olympians. The strength of the Raid- ers lay in the fact that they picked up many 2nd and 3rd places in each meet, instead of just a few 1st places, thereby accumulating more points. The top opponents for the Raiders were Anderson and Austin High. The managers for the team this year included Mike Callan, Stanley Chennault and Tommy Turner.
