ractice was one of the most im- portant ingredients for a suc- cessful track team. This year’s BoyS Indoor Track Team was just that- successful. They practiced hard, work- ing out two to three hours a day, every day a week, and refined their talents to produce one of Lake Braddock’s finest. Runners Charlie Volpe, Chris Bryce, Greg Watson, and Dan Seal showed their skill in many events, including the four by 800 where they rewrote the books by setting a new record at eight minutes and fourteen seconds at the Mason Invitational. Other competitors like John Newton and John Pink, displayed their hard work at every meet in which they competed. Dan Seale said In practice you get out of it what you put into it, and judging by the quality of this year's team, they had put in excessive time and effort. Ahead of his competitors.

ehind every big football, basketball, or tennis competi- tion, many dedicated in- dividuals shared in making a team ef- fort of their own. These people includ- ed the trainers, managers, and the - coaches. Led by Joe Stein, the student ) trainers helped each athlete through pome painful experiences. Since I was interested in physical therapy, I at- pyj, tended classes to become a trainer, said Danelle Armstrong. I also get the opportunity to meet a lot of people.” Along with the trainers, the managers backed the teams with their support and their hard work. Marianne Helms and Trent Kubo helped manage the Lacrosse Team because It gives us a chance to do something constructive, taking stats, as well as something fun, watching the action on the field. But no team was a real team without the coach. I coach because I enjoy it, com- mented J.R. Matthews, football coach. It gives me the opportunity to con- tinually relive my life through my players. The combination of the trainers, managers, and coaches have resulted in a Soccer State Champion- ship, a Girls Gymnastics State Title, and a District Champion Field Hockey Team. No team was complete without the team behind the team. At a vigorous practice. Coach Clark watches intently as players practice a defensive play. Carlton Bonilla. Paul Lynch.
