Frosh-Soph Track, Field Improves Through The 85-86 frosh-soph track team proved, indeed, ttiey were a fine group of athletes. In the beginning, inexperi- ence hindered the young group, but the Vikes improved throughout the season with the help of rigorous training; such training included: intervals, technique work, and weight training. The top athletes were Brian Oten and Tyrone Anderson in sprints, Vince Hura and Lance McCrimmon in high |ump and hurdles, Dave Fortney in the 440, Chris Blunk in the 880, Aaron Orosco in the mile, Jay Chaplin in 2-mile, Rodney Hudson and Lenny IVIayer in the shot put, Rob Brown and Everet Blandino in the pole vault, Tyrone Anderson and Brian Otem in the long |ump. Coach Maury Greer commented that the athletes would prove to be fine competitors for upcom- mg seasons on varsity track. With the addition of two new coaches, Shon Shafer, an ex-pole vaulter from South Hills as the pole vault coach and Joe Gonzalez, an ex-student here at Northview, as the shot put coach- discus coach, head coach Maury Greer felt that they helped them and improved them overall as athletes. Early in the season the frosh-soph team competed at the Foothill Invitational. Some of the medalists were Brian Oten, and the Orosco brothers, Eric and Aaron, in the distance medley - they took second place. Rob Brown and Everet Blandino took a third in the pole vault, and led by Rodney Hudson, the shot put team took a third.
