Hard Work And Determination Hard work and determina- tion was what the Monacan Indoor Track team’s philos- ophy was all about. The Chiefs went through vigorous workouts to prepare them- selves for the season ahead. With determination and ath- letic ability, both the boys and the girls teams put forth their best as evidenced by nu- merous broken school re- cords. The Central Region meet held at the Ashe Center ar- rived and the Indoor Chiefs 1984-85 Boys Indoor Track Team FRONT ROW: Kent Ingram; Jody Harrison; Ken Cartwright; Brian Cox; Earl Melton; Brian Blackman; SECOND ROW: Will Bryce; Blen Robertson; David Whitt; Matt Watts; Orlando Alston; Chris Hughes; Ken Russell; Roger Sinclair; THIRD ROW: Coach Boardway; Mark Barenkau; Chris Doyle; David Halm; Shannon Bailey; Tom Bernal; Eric Marwitz; Mark Isley; Chris Met- calf. 1984-85 Girls Indoor Track Team FRONT ROW: Andrea Youngblood; Jennifer Luther; Sharen Scott; Faith Gresham; Heather Wirt; SECOND ROW: Kelly Jones; Evanda Watts; Pam Kline; Jenny Lloyd; Heidi Shin- er; Kelly McClain; THIRD ROW: Kim Harriss; Chelsea Watkins; Christie Stafford; Cecily Muff; Alli- son Fox; Julie Mathers; Donna Sel- don; Stacy Stephens.

The girls team finished fourth overall and had two individ- uals who broke school re- cords; they were senior Evanda Watts in the 300m and long jump, and Allison Fox, a freshman, in the high jump. At the Regional meet for the boys, the track team fin- ished second overall. Senior Eric Marwitz added points to the Monacan score by placing first in the high jump. He also broke two school records at Regionals in the 55m high hurdles and the 55m dash. Also scoring for the Chiefs were senior Ken Bark, who took third in the 1000m, and sophomore John Metten, who took second in the pole vault. The 800m Relay team of Eric Marwitz, Brian Cox, Kent In- gram, and John Metten took first at Regionals which ad- vanced them to the state meet. Showing excellent speed at the State meet, both the 800m Relay Team and Brian Cox, in the 500m event, managed to set new school records for their respective divisions. For the Chiefs, it was a season of hard work and record break- ing, which continued the tra- dition of excellence previous- ly set making Monacan ath- letes face up to the Chief challenge. And as Monacan continues to maintain its ex- cellence in all sports, track will continue its dominance.

Leaping To Victory The boys and the girls out- door track team once again continued its reach for excel- lence. The boys team truly made it work at the Central Region meet after finishing second overall in theDistricts; they finished fourth overall in an impressive group of run- ning schools. Scoring for the boys and also qualifying for the state meet was hurdler Eric Marwitz, a senior, who took first in the 110m high hurdles, 300m intermediates, and second in the high jump. Other teammates qualifying for states were sophomores John Metten, who took sec- ond in the pole vault, and Barry Maroney, who took first in the two mile, and third in the mile. The Chiefs also benefitted from scores turned in by senior Kenny Bark, who set a school record in the 400m dash, and Kent Ingram, who set a freshman record in the 800m. The girls team had a suc- cessful season by placing strongly in Districts and the Central Region. For Region- als, the 400m Relay team qualified and finished third while the mile relay also qualified and took fourth. Several individuals also racked up impressive scores: Tracy Slater, Cabell Ander- son, Yvonne Gineriss, Tina Newcomb, Beverly Burger, and Christy Wedlock. Sopho- more Jennifer Luther took second in the 800m and ad- vanced to the state meet plac- ing sixth in the 800m. So overall, the track team concluded a successful sea- son, and like its indoor coun- terpart, the team is expecting more of the same. Lift Off! Using every ounce of her strength, Monacan’s top female long jumper, Evanda Watts, soars through the air. Hurdling with power, Greg Hill slowly but surely pulls away from his opponents.
