First Ever State Champs The Indoor Track Team roared through an extremely successful dual meet schedule, fin- ishing 8-3 against some of the best teams in the state. They followed up the regular sea- son with the Class S State Championship. The championship was the first ever for a Northwest Indoor Track Team. Coached by Mr. Griffin and led by co-cap- tains Bob Deneen and David Amaral, the team broke fifteen school records. Seniors Bob Deneen, Dave Amaral, Mike DeMaio, Jim Schiffer, Mike Levine, and Chris Garcia all turned in fine efforts. The future looks good as well, with Rich and Mike Santos, Steve Curley, Joe Young, Bob Waters, and Willie Dowden returning next year. Because of their performance in the Class S State Championships, Jim Schiffer, Mike DeMaio, Rich and Mike Santos, and the 4x200 relay team consisting of Mike Demaio, Dave Amaral, Mike Levine, and Joe Young were invited to the state open held March 20 atUCONN. The crunch is felt at the start as Northwest fights for position.

The girls, for the second con- secutive year, recorded a perfect 19-0 season. Their continual domina- tion over their opponents secured them the number one position in the conference. Throughout their nineteen game season, the Indians thwarted their enemeies with tenacious defense and a high-scoring offense. The team was packed with talent as each player contributed to its winning cause. The only competition that challenged the Indians was South Catholic. Winning by a very slim margin, the Northwest team pre- vented their record from being scarred. Their perfect slate set a North- west record of the only team to remain undefeated for two years. They compiled a record of 36-0. Successful was the word to describe this tal- ented team. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Hope watches it arch through the hoop. Over the defender and in; two tor Nora.
