Regronal Shotput he boys' track team had high expectations about the oncoming season, But by the end of their first practice meet against LBJ and Reagan, key people were injured and the team knew they were in for a whopper of a year. Some individuals excelled however. David Taveirne won all but two meets in discus competition, and in those two he finished in second place. He was undefeated in shotput until the State meet. Even then he finished fourth in the state. David completed his season with a trackffootball scholarship to the University of I-louston. While still recovering from early injuries. the team participated in the Matador Relays at Seguin. The meet went fantastic forthe teamg those members who had not done well earlier outshone everyone else. This happened two weeks before the district meet and it was a confident team that began preparation for it. Luck was not with themg key member Clifton Bell was injured a week before district. The district meet was not a complete failure however. The best personal performance of the year was by David Sweet. David placed fourth in the mile run on an injured leg. David Duncan placed in the 330 hurdles. Ike McKinney placed second in long jump at the district meet. One of the most highly recruited trackffootball athletes in the state, David Taveirne got fourth place in shotput and sixth in discus at the State meet. Despite injuries, they had the potential and they had the stamina, Coach Schroeder said, Because of a strong JV team, Vikings can look forward to strong performances next year.
