-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.

Neptune's Girls Track team placed Shore Conference fourth overall in the and ninth in the State Championship. Mr. Morris, the girl's track coach, said that he was very proud of the progress that the team made, both as a whole and individually. The team had two big dis- appointments this season. The first one was in losing the State Championship. However, though they did not win, all showed improvement in their areas of ' On The Run The second disappointment was Stephanie Saleem's injury, a pulled ham- string muscle, that put her out for the season. In spite of the loss of Saleem, the team put its best foot forward. Dawn Bowles was one of the most out- standingirunners of the season. She set the school and Shore Conference records on the fifty-five meter hurdles. Dawn also won the fifty-five meter dash and the fifty-five meter hurdles in the Shore individual performance.
