The expressions on the face of Tony Mecklenburg, Tommy Howard, Doug Baldwin, and George Shalhoup indicate a hard run. .il , Norfolk Catholic and Deep Creek await the sound of the gun to begin the 100 yard dash. Those tense moments of waiting are the worst. Coach Williams is trying to relax before the Suffolk Track Meet. These young members of the track team, James Man- ning, Pat Caton, and Thomas Wood, are getting off to a Fine start. With the advent of somewhat warmer weather Norfolk Catholic track team started its work- outs, but because of poor weather and little time to pracice the cindermen came from their first meet, which was with Hampton, on the short end of a 101-11 score. Only two members of Catho- lic's team were able to score. One of these, Tom Howard, proved to be a standout by scoring ten of the eleven points. The other point was added by Alan Knudson. The following week the team journeyed to Deep Creek only to return again on the losing end of a 71-41 score. As the score indicates though, the team was improving and more boys were get- ting into the scoring act. Although the Crusaders had lost two meets, they were determined to get a victory over the Great Bridge Wildcats. In this meet the backbone of the team was made up of last year's lettermen. Many members of the squad added points to their credit during this meet, yet Tom Howard scored 18 of the teams 36 points. To our dismay Great Bridge proved to be too powerful by winning the meet 77-36. The final meet of the season saw Catholic High take a second against Suffolk and Deep Creek in a triangular meet at Suffolk. Tom Howard came out on top of the scoring column with 58 points to his credit during the season. Because there were many underclassmen on the team this year we can hope for a better season next year.
