I have never enjoyed a team as well as this year'sq l only hope that the team got as much from me as I got from them, noted coach Dick Valentine. Bob Gibson was county champion in the polevault this season, also a fourth place finisher at the state meet he attended. Bob is one of only two who has ever scored in a state meet from my previous track teams, coach Valentine also stated. This year there were three runners taking the title of captain, Jeff Ziegelbaur, Shawn Nally, and Bob Gibson. Jeff was also awarded Most Valuable Runner for being very help- ful and dependable. Jeff stated that, The hardest times we ever ex- perienced were when we competed with Troy High Schoolg being the only team to overtake us, leaving us with a 10-1 record. Mark Fiesendez was second in the regionals in the low hurdles and won the 200 yard dash, qualifying for the state meet' Athletics 83

The season was somewhat of a disappointment because of all the cold weather and rain, replied Sheree Beslack.
