Freshmen track team dashes to conference tttle The 1976-77 track season was ex- tremely successful for our underclass runners. At all of the meets, oppo- nents found our Hawks very com- petitive, due to many fine athletes, with standouts such as Steve Seran- toni and Gary Schwan. Also, this year's team was boosted by the many talented athletes on the freshman level. With the help of standouts Chris Pelzl and John Baldoni, our Hawks were able to take first place in the conference meet. However, without the performances of all, this fine record could not have been achieved this season. ABOVE RIGHT: Tom Kroeschell, Ken Mrowiec, and Bob Engh competed in the 50 yard dash.

their victories Under the direction of Coach John- son, Maine South's underclass swim- mers completed a truly fine season. Many strong individual swimmers were developed through long, hard hours of practice. South's freshmen team, showing much strength, fin- ished their season 4-6 while South's sophomores also did well with a rec- ord of 2-1.This year's Junior Varsity swimmers finished with a record of 3-6, however, this record could not show the true talent of the many individual swimmers. All in all, with the success of these underclass teams, South's varsity swim team will be receiving some good talent. ABOVE LEFT: Varsity Swimmers: Top: T. Rortvedt, P. Winters, K. Thurnell, K.

Players smash their opponents The underclass tennis team, with fine standouts, such as Bob Bean and Scott Chamness, produced many out- standing athletes and won many of their meets in the '76 season. Coach Lange agreed that with strong players coming up from this frosh-soph team, South's varsity teams in the future should be extremely tough. Also, some sophomores, such as Tom Wilkas, were able to compete on the varsity squad. In the '76 frosh invi- tational, the two doubles teams won the first place title. Obviously, Maine South was proud of our suc- cessful frosh-soph team. LEFT: Frosh-Soph Tennis.' Top: Coach Lange, D. Osimani, T. Ellsworth, M. Farmer, S. Bloecker, D. Phillips, L. Keenan, Mgr.
