The 1978 Track season was a definite improvement over the ‘77’ season. The team ended the season with twenty-eight participants as opposed to the ten the previous year. This add- ed man power enabled the Jacket thin-clads to defeat four opponents in seven attempts of the abbreviated schedule. Pat Lueth was the team’s leading scorer, racking up points in discus, long jump, 220 yd. dash, and high jump. Lueth was backed up with solid scoring by Sophomore Benny George (second leading scorer), Juniors Tom Wilson, Paul Jelinek, and Frank Bishop, and Senior Glenn Salada. George had a very good year in the high jump. His leaps of six feet and higher were good enough for a third place medal in the STA league meet, second in the State Regional Track Meet and qualified him for the State Finals. Everyone performed well and had much fun. Many goals were accomplished. With nineteen returning lettermen the 1979 season is a promising one. The track team nervously waits to run their events at an Armada track meet. 40

The Memphis Linkers The 1978 Varsity Golf Team was an interesting experience. It was a team composed of many first year golfers. However, with hard work these young men did have a some-what successful season. Our league record of 12 and 9 was good enough for the third place finish, our overall won and lost record was 14 and 9. 1 am looking forward to next season with high expectations and 1 know the returning team mem- bers are too. No one was satisfied with the third place finish and they have already dedicated them- selves to do better next year. Coach Richard Kriesch Steve Wroblewski pauses at Belle River golf course. Practice makes perfect!
