mitm . Seniors Siet Example for Underelass Trackmen The 1983 boys ' track team was described by Coach Glenn Adams as having some quaUty individuals, but lacking in depth. We scored qvute well in some of the big meets, but didn ' t have too good a record. He pointed out the team was weak in sprints, but traditionally strong in distance. Returning letterman Mike McCor- mick ' 83, won the county high jimip with 6 ' 4 . His two 6 ' 8 jumps in meets couldn ' t breeik his previous school record of 6 ' 8V4 . Ankle and , foot injuries were a big disappoint- ment to me, said Mike. Bob Mitchell ' 83, placed third in the 1600 In county with a time of 4:21.5. The Southport meet was really the team ' s best effort, he stated. We lost, but not by much. Tim Fought ' 83, placing sixth in the 800 in coimty said of the team, we had some good senior leadership and a lot of imderclass talent. Doug Whitman ' 83, a distance run- ner described the team as hard working with the seniors trying to set an example. Brent Baer ' 84, (low hurdles) and Mark Stuart ' 84, (800 meters) agreed they had not met all the goeds set at the begirming of the season. Each team member wrote his goals on an index card and tried to achieve them as the season progressed. Brian Burchfleld ' 85, (discus), Kevin McGovem ' 85, (pole vault), and David Bryant ' 86, (sprints) all contributed greatly to the team and give us a rosey future, said Coach Adams.

Switching from boys ' to girls ' teimis coachimg. Coach Bagley pointed out there were some strategy differences but the girls reacted well and with 19 years of varsity play among them, we had a ; lot of leadership and experience. i The three team goals were to have j a 500 season, to beat Southport, and to win sectionals. Our weakness was lack of tournament experience and out of season play, CoachM Bagley stated. ' Elana Engleman ' 84, the number 108 TENNIS
