The M.H.S. matmen enjoyed their best season in years. After strong performances over Newton North and Framingham North, Malden was a legitimate contender for the Divisional central team. Captains Mark Connelly and John Rafuse were key performers along with Sean Connelly, Brian O’Boyle, and Bob Distefano. The best match was a victory over rival Medford, which drew the largest home crowd yet. The M.H.S. rifle squad earned a respectable 6-4 record, overcoming four early defeats and winning their last six matches. Captain Steve Baberadt, Ty Taylor, Al Flint, Hagop Mattossian, and Kevin Johnson improved with every match, and shot their highest scores in the last meet against Watertown. Successful coach John Carroll retired at the end of the season and his “nice guy” attitude will be missed. The M.H.S. swim team boasted some impressive performances despite the disadvantage of not having their own pool. Junior Neil Kinnon was a mainstay in the 100 yard breastroke and junior Chuck loven set a school record in the 200 yard free style. Mary Griffin and captain Robin Hollahan added needed strength to the co-ed team. Running is becoming a very popular recreation. Coach John O’Brien couldn’t be happier. Junior Russell Warren was the most valuable performer and captain Bob Foley earned the title of Mr. Track. The large turnout of girls gave M.H.S. its first girls’ Cross Country team. The team had a fun season and achieved a 4-4 record. cross country, rifle, swimming, wrestling 19
