This year's constantly improving team defeated Turtle Creek, Serra, and Homestead in dual meets and finished with two two seconds and a third in triangular meets against such tough rivals as Brentwood, Av- alon, McKeesport, and West Mifflin North. Also, in the W.P.l.A.L. qualifier meet at Chartiers-Houston, South finished with a venerable second place out of twenty-one schools. ln the W.P.l.A.L. finals at Mt. Leb- anon, Spartan performers finished within the top seven in four different events. T967 was also a great year for individual perform- ances. A total of ten school records were set during the season. These include records in the mile and half-mile by Rich Koschik with times of 4:47.11 and 2:06.13 respectively, and a record in the two mile run by Bruce Yount with a time of lO:46.8. ln the field events Ed Thompson set a shot put record with a toss of 44'3 and John Gamble set records in the broad jump and triple jump of l9'6 and 38f2 respectively. Individual scoring leaders were Bob Fischer, with 72 points, Chuck Hoover with 70W points, and Rich Koschik with 54 points. These great individual performances combined with tremendous team efforts to give the South High Track Team a truly great season.
