Being part of the team provided a chance to develop new skills and stay in shape. The girls really supported each other at meets. It was not uncommon to see Magnificat girls stationed out around the track dur¬ ing a race to cheer a teammate on to victory. And there was always someone at the finish line to catch a collapsing runner. The girls were often complimented at meets, not only for their skill, but also for their friendli¬ ness and good sports¬ manship. The team also received compliments in the Sun Herald, which had weekly articles about the team’s latest accom¬ plishments. It wasn’t easy. Every member of the track team worked hard. But the outcome of the 1984 track season proved to be well worth the effort.® —Cheryl Trzcinski TRACK AND FIELD 73

A smooth handoff gives Joanna Butts ’85 a good start as she receives the baton from Beth Crowley ’85. Beth ran the first leg of the 1600 meter relay. Then it’s half over as Joan¬ na passes the baton to Mary Frain ’87. Joanna also ran the 1600 solo at Amherst after qualifying in Districts the week before, but she didn’t make the top four for State. Then it’s all up to Judy Crowley ’85 as she takes the baton from Mary. With the possibility of breaking the week-old school record in the back of her mind, Judy concentrated on placing in the top four to qualify for state. Then comes the congratula¬ tions from Mary after Judy’s dramatic finish. With Beth shouting, “Don’t let Lakewood ... ”, Judy inched past Lakewood’s Megan McGuire at the fin¬ ish line. The Blue Streaks claimed a third place with a record time of 4:03.8. Photos by A. Sheridan. —T ' rif m%im ■ - 72 TRACK AND FIELD
