“Friendship 1s important’” — Coach Harris. Asst. Coach Ganger 30 The 1986 spring season for girls track and field was another good year for Coach Lee Harris and Asst. Coach Susan Ganger. Their 6 and 2 record gave the team its’ Sth berth in the Com- monwealth District Meet. As stated by Coach Harris the close friendship of the team really helps the athletes in all events. Coach Harris predicts that the '87 season of girls track should be even better with 36 athletes returning and a lot of high caliber athletes from the surrounding middle schools. Some of the teams strongest events and pre- miere athletes were as follows: In field events, Alexis Clark was the strongest all around, breaking the long jump re- cord, making the new mark 17’ 1”. Yvette Harrison was tops in the shot put and discus, and also breaking the triple jump record, with the new record 346 . The sprints and hurdles be- longed to Jessica Burch and Debbie Goins, respectively. And last but defi- nitely not last, the long distance races were owned by Laura Seiffert, who broke the record for the 3200 yard dash, lowering the time to just over 12 minutes (12:02.4), and yet she was only a freshman at the time. With quite a few yo ung members and new talent coming up the girls track looks to keep up its’ winning ways and to keep ‘Run- ning ‘em down.

Coach Ray First row: Ernie England, Rhett Cox, Marc Cichowicz, John B The 1986 Boys Track team had a respectable season, finishing with a 4 and 3 dual meet record, 4th in districts and 8th out of 23 teams in regionals. There was as usual a good turnout for the team and lots of talent to work with. The team had no real weak areas but had many strong ones. Perhaps the most dominating person on the team was Nicky Embrey who owned the medium to long distance running events. By the end of the season he had broken the school records in the 800, 1600, and 3200 meter runs, and finished allagher, Lee Gallagher, M EP the season with 86.5 pts.
