CO The girls ' track team at LHS began their victorious season in March and carried their mo- mentum through May. Diversi- fied strengths and unity were the keys to success. With five wins and three losses, the team ended their season in an outstanding fashion. The team worked together as one, an unusual accomplishment for an individual sport. First-year coach Terri Ellis and captains Beth White, Tonia Ouellette, and Melanie Breslaw were a tremendous aid to the team ' s success. The team ' s individual strength pulled us together to give us the support we needed to make this our best year yet, said one player. Team members provided much of this strength in a variety of events such as the 440 relay manned by Beth White, Shar- on Mauri, Johnny Perry, and Tanya Parker. Other seniors on the team were Katherine Casey, Rachel Gilman, Amy Grey, and Kath- erine Stackhouse. Future sen- iors sure to continue this tradi- tion of excellence and perse- verance include Laura Trem- ble, Lori Odierna, and Rishona Teres. Top: The 1986 Girls ' Track team.

o DC CD o DO The following is another Longmeadow sports story with a happy ending. This year, the Longmeadow High School Boys ' Track Team fin- ished their most successful season in six years. The team worked hard and says coach Joe Dutsar, focused on indi- vidual improvement which was a key factor to their suc- cess. In the past, the track team has seen a lot of hard times; this year is an example of how hard work finally pays off. This must be true be- cause twelve team members qualified for Western Mass. Outstanding seniors from the team included sprinters Andy Duessel and Paul Lang, hurdler Mark Henshaw, and triple jumper Jay Withgott, high jumper Marvin Lyon, and javelin thrower Joe Reichert. Seniors Kevin Traub, Paul Moran and Brian Shukan helped maintain the standard of excellence. And the talent did not end there. Outstand- ing juniors were Mark Rigby in the 880 yard run, javelin thrower Rich Wiseman, and hurdler Charlie Laub. Disc thrower Mark Casey, pole vaulter Ben Falk, long jumper Kyle Kisiel, and triple jumper Eric Watts also show promise. With so much talent the team ' s outlook for next year looks even better.
