Track Struggles Through I always felt we had a good chance, anything can happen in a meet. This attitude of Elreen Brumfield and her fellow track team members was instrumental in getting the team through a season of troubles and negatives. A small team was just one of the many problems faced by the track team. With only twenty-five members on J.V. and Varsity combined, the team had to work hard to make up for its size. Because of this, the team members had to participate in more events. This made it dif- ficult for the athletes to improve on their major event. Inexperience was another prob- lem. Starting with an almost new team, the athletes had to practice harder to better their skills. With only three returning let- termen, we lacked the experience we needed to face some of these teams, stated Coach Davis. Individually the team had a number of outstanding athletes. Andy wood, with a 49.9 400 meters ' time, was the team ' s top runner. Elreen Bumfield proved to be one of strongest girls, collec- ting medals for the 330 low hurdles at the Hemet Invita- tional. Jerium Briscoe also stood out in the 330 low hurdles. Another outstanding player was freshman Ernest Clark with a 20 ft. jump. - After running the 330 low hurdles against Arl- ington, Darren Briscoe crosses the finish line. Arl- ington won the meet 68 to 39. 12 sports
