Rcmcho's Varsity Track . team was loaded with talent in 1976. The team was led by two defending league champions from 1975: Steve Besaw with a 1:58.'7 half-mile to his credit, and Mike Moore, a pole vaulter who placed 2nd in the CIF Championships last year at 13-4. The team was well balanced with several strong events. Ron Baker was the strongest sprinter, recording a 10.2 100 yard dash and a 51.2 440. Ron Fitch was the 220 leader at 23.7. The distance events were handled by Tim and Tom Becker. The hurdle team was especially strong with Tom Batok in the 120 highs and Bill Mabie in the 330 lows. The discus was R.A.'s best field event with three men over 140 feet: Chris Radke, Steve Bolton, and loe Dudevoir. S-.
