The workouts, mainly running and weight-training, became progressively harder as the weather became warmer. Even- tually, they moved out of the weight room and onto the track as they worked to build up the endurance that they would need in order to be worthy competitors. Along with team training individuals worked to perfect their performances in their own speciahzed events such as the pole vault high yump triple jump hurdles and other distance events To be on the track team and stay there IS hard work for any one The pre season tra1n1ng and regular season practice can be very trying. Only those whose hearts are in it and who have the will and determina- tion to make themselves into quality competition will be the ones to bring Kellam's track team to a district champi- onship. 101
