Lightning Struck Twice Bringing home a trophy every Saturday is no common occurrence for an ordinary team, but for the Spring Track Team, this phenomena is commonplace. Without break- ing stride, the trackmen achieved their second undefeated season in a row with an overall record of 11 and 0. Among this season’s more memorable highlights was winning the County Champion- ships. Individual performances dominated the win which was aided by Mike Wasko, taking first in the 100 meter dash. Tom Brady, win- ner of the 110 HH and Joe Longo and Gene Smith who participated in the champion 1600 meter Relay team. In addition to their Relay honors, Longo finished second in the 400 meter run and Smith completed the 800 meter race with second place. Coach Bill Doll attributes the team’s 21 straight victories to an outstanding corp of veteran runners. Joe Longo, Gene Smith and Tom Brady anchored the squad while John Kiernan, Steve Biancanano, Mike Reagan, Joe Seminaro and Charlie Nieves added the stability that made the team a consistent win- ner. Although Coach Doll described this year’s group as the best in school history, he is looking forward to many successful seasons to come. Underclassmen Walter Tomkowski, Tom Reagan, Ed Mahalik and Paul De’Arpa along with Ralph Howardson are expected to carry the Bomber trackmen for the next few years. BELOW: An Olympian effort is displayed by Doug Ryan in this classic Olympian sport. Winning seasons and broken records in most every event have become the im- pressive trademarks of the Girl’s Spring Track Team. Each of the girls put forth great effort and proudly ended their 11-0 season with a victory at the Middlesex County Athletic Conferences. The team also attained the titles of Middlesex County Champs, Cen- tral Jersey Group IV Champs and Co- champions with Madison Central in the MCAC relays. Along with the team which functioned skillfully as whole, several members achieved individual honors. Julie Brady and Lisa Mitrosky made first team All Conference, and also did well in the state and county sec- tionals. Mastering technique in the field events were Cheryl Neilson and Cindy Allman, both of whom hold school records in the shotput and javelin. Ms. Mauer, who has coached the team successfully for several years, boasted, “Super! Total team effort! Great individual performances when it counted! I’m proud of each team member for her contributions to the team’s effort.” 18 Boy's Girl’s Track
