The team as a whole placed third in both the district and regional meets. Fine performances were turned in by Pat Hirl in the pole vault, Paul Southern in the hurdles, and Mike Turner who won in the regional, district and state meets.

Though a relatively small group of girls when compared to previous seasons, this year’s indoor track team swept through their season without losing a single meet. They were also victorious in the district and region, while placing fourth in the state. These victories were not easily won though; many long hours of practice contributed to their success. Besides the usual after school practice, atheletes could be seen practicing before school, late at night, and over vacations. Carla Criste broke the school indoor track record for high jump, and along with Angie Winegeart excelled in hurdles and long jump. Andrea Volpe ran very well in distance and claimed two state championship titles. Though often going in different directions while practicing, under the guidance of coaches Trimm, Seemuller, McDonald, Abbott, and Worthington, the girls always rallied for the meets and perform- ed v ell both individually and as a team. With good form, Tricia Gailbraith clears five feet in the Regional meet.
