This year's gymnastics team, coached by Mary Kay Scola, had a very successful season. Their major goal was to score a total of at least 85 points. They did score 85 points at each meet, and, at one of their toughest meets against Freehold, they scored 88.7, exceding their goal. Al- though they lost against Freehold by half a point, the team felt proud of them- selves for pulling together and scoring high. The most valuable player, Jan Dalziel, freshman, contributed a great deal to the - Flipping Cut T team. An excellent athlete and a great teammate, Jan never missed a meet and was always at practice. She was a devoted player and hopes someday that all this practice will pay off. Jan finished first on vault, fourth on floor, and sixth all- around in the Shore Conference meet, and in the sectionals for the state finals, she made sixth all-around. Jan Dalziel successfully made it to the state finals and earned the positions of first place on the balance beam, third all-around, and fourth on both vault and floor. Her fel- low teammates and coach were very hap- py for her achievements and hope to see her in the 1988 Olympics. Sophomore April Leonard showed ex- ceptional improvement. She started out scoring between 2-3 pts. on the uneven bars, but by the end of the season, she was scoring 5 to 6 pts., a remarkable increase for a brand new competitor and an auspicious beginning for this young team.

-On The Right Track Neptune is once again proud of its Boys' Indoor Track team after its com- pletion of another mixed but successful season under the direction of Coach Hank Nonnenberg and Assistant Coach John Chambers. The team kept up with Coach Nonnenberg's expectations of overall improvement whether with bet- ter times or further distances. The team member who won the most points was varsity shot putter Andre Nashe, who is following in the footsteps of former teammate Fred Brown. Not only was Andre Nashe the most out- standing team member, he was also a co- captain along with John Blanton. Coach Nonnenberg, a former distinguished athlete in his own right, stated that the player who exhibited the greatest overall improvement in track skills was Barry Bacon, a short distance sprinter. Nonnenberg went on to compare the team's record to a rollercoaster, saying that they both have their ups and downs. While placing second overall in the Shore Conference Meet, the team unfor- - - fmt .- Back row: Asst.

Although not competing in any dual- meets, the team was able to defeat its traditional adversary, CBA, in a multi- team tournament meet. Coach Nonnenberg stated that the most memorable event of the season was Andre Nashe's stunning fifty foot-plus shot put throw at the Shore Conference Meet. The future looks good, Nonnen- berg stated, we have some good young talent. W, .ai ,w ' Top: Pat Smith gets ready to take off. Above: Johnnie Moore shows off his hurdling skills. 141
