I'ClC On March 18th, after a pre-season meet with Roxbury Latin, it became apparent that this year's Track Team had a high first place potential, but lacked depth for the second and third places of certain events. Nevertheless, the boys came back from vacation with an interest and an energy that put the Team into high gear right away. Then the snow came, and the rain came, and Newton came. Boasting five state champions, Newton won the meet by a good margin, however, amazingly good performances by Edmonds and Ham- buchen in the 880 and high jump, respec- tively, as well as a general improvement by the rest of the Team, caused the aftemoon to be somewhat redeemed. A week later, the opponent was Moses Brown and the competition proved very closely matched, Milton got seven first places, but Moses Brown pulled ahead in the second and third places to win the meet by two points. Due to a wet track up north, Governor Dummer met the Team down here. This was a hard fought contest all the way, the final outcome being a win for Covemor Dummer by one point. At this point, having run the three tough- est meets and losing two of them by three points, the coaches decided to change the entries in several events. As there would be no more hurdles, Robertson moved to the 440, Davis to the 880, and Edmonds to the mile. This arrangement filled out some weak spots and helped in winning the next three meets, with Thayer, Milton High, and Quincy High. In the last meet, against Quincy, the relay record, previously set at 1:37.5 by Robertson, Potts, Crosby, and Greenway, was again broken by those four and set at 1:34.4. On that note, the official track season ended. Aside from the regular meets, there were two interscholastic meets this spring, one at Andover and one at Amherst. Ten boys went to Andover on the 16th of May, and, although the Team score wasn't high, per- sonal performances were excellent. One such performance was by Nick Edmonds, who did the 880 in 2:03.9, losing first place by only two inches. Six boys made the trip to Amherst, four runners and two field events men. They drove with Mr. Sherk to Amherst on Friday night, thereby allowing for a good night's sleep before the meet. Dave Greenway went to the finals of the 100 and 220, and got fifth and fourth place medals, Frank Davis got a fifth in the 440 in a heat against time, Nick Edmonds got a second in the 880, Mike Robertson got a fifth in the 120 high hurdles and then broke the Milton record in the 220 lows doing 25.6. All in all, it was a very pleasant trip and it must be noted that Amherst College was an ex- cellent host. Our sincere thanks go to coaches Sherk, Hall, Herzog, and Overton for the time, energy, and interest which they so freely gave to make this a fine season. The very best of luck to Captain-elect David Green- way for a good season next year.
