Freshman track coach Larry Weimer was confident that his team would have a good season and felt sure of easily better- ing i968's record of four wins and eight losses. His main ob- iective was to teach his boys the basic skills in track and then to let them begin to specialize in whatever area they showed most promise in. Top runners in the 440 were Larry Young and Robert Hammand while Maniit Cheema, fast on sprints, also worked on lengthening his distance in the long iump. Danny Wenceslow concentrated his efforts on distance run- ning, while Don Weatherford jumped hurdles and Clancy But- ler was tops in throwing shotput and discus. The team prac- ticed all through February for the season which began in mid- March. A freshman member of the Track Team, Kevin Rogahn was caught in action throwing the shotput on Palo Verde's field. He worked to gain greater distance.
