The Junior High Girls Track Team had a bit of bad luck this season, as far as participation goes. After starting the season with 23 members, the team dwindled to only 10 members throughout most of the season, because of illness and other reasons. While winn- ing their first dual over Albion, 61-58, the squad never won another meet, but placed high in several of them. There was only one team member that par- ticipated in field events, that was Missy Cetak. According to coach Angie Batenhorst, the lack of membership made it very difficult to compete with teams 2 and 3 times bigger. Batenhorst also added, the attitudes of the girls and spirit carried them through the season.

Gene Suhr, coach of the tracksters, named Shawn Sich for his performance in the 200 and 400. He was State rated and had a very good season. The District Champions were Brian Cetak and Dave Minary. Brian competed in the shot put and Dave threw the discus. The state qualifiers were Brian Cetak and Dave Minary in field events and Doug Welniak, Randy Welniak, Mike Williams, and Shawn Sich in the 1600 meter relay.

They began the year with a win over Albion in a dual and by winning the Broken Bow Invitational, which was the highlight of the season. The season also included meets at Adams Central, Grand Island, and Loup City. The Junior thinclads didn't win any of these contests, but showed well in all three. Four boys placed in every meet this yearg Brad Novasad, Dan Klimek, Dennis Schmitt, and Tom Kruml. They lead a team which con- sisted of 25 seventh and eighth boys.
