I 2 CII the Right Track The ancient Greeks believed in the perfection and beauty of the human body. To keep their citizens interested in maintaining their physical well- being, the leaders conceived a series of athletic contests which have transcend- ed the years and now, slightly altered and modernized, constitute the events of an up-to-date track and field meet. Members of the 1982 Boys' and Girls' North High Track Teams carefully chose the events in which they wished to participate and felt that could com- plete with success. These included sprinting, long distance running, hurdl- ing, jumping, discus throwing, pole vaulting, and shot putting. The boys, under the direction of 214 X Athletes Coaches Wade Hummel and Roger Prit- chard, and the girls headed by Coaches Melody Mitchitell and Steve Frank, began early to condition their bodies for the strenuous competition ahead. Being in excellent physical condition and warming up before any physical exert- ion is extremely important for track and field participants. Pre-season practice lasted approx- imately two hours a day, five days a week. Warm-up drills stressing stretch- ing and bending, weight lifting, and run- ning were a requirement for all track team members before they proceeded to specific areas to perfect their skills and techniques in their individual events. Injury is a constant hazard during practice and at all meets, since track and field events place participants in often precarious positions. Miscalculating a height while pole vaulting, high jump- ing, or hurdling, or pulling muscles or tendons while running, jumping, or throwing, happen frequently as the athletes push themselves to achieve faster times and great heights and distances. As the 1982 track team members honed their skills, a spirit Of determination and pride permeated the air around the Red Knight track and football field. The coaches and student athletes felt this track season would be H successful one at North Ft. Myers High School.
