It should have been a good year for the girls in gold and blue but the road to victory was rocky. ...the first day on the new practice field was just the beginning of a season plagued with problems. The pitcher ' s mound was built on top of boulder size gravel and it didn ' t take long to realize that steady footing was going to be almost impossible. The baseline between second and third base was the location of an uncovered sprinkler and slides had to be taken out of the practice game. Then the rains came and among the mounting problems were muddy infields, swampy weed- covered outfields, and weather cancelled games. Add a few injuries to key players and the jinx became complete. It was almost as if the gods were playing against the Wild Kittens. They allowed the girls a feeling of friendship that offered a taste of victory but they placed the winning score just beyond their reach and gave the Wild Kittens a season that was truly rocky. 1.

It began in December, weeks before the track meets actually began, as they jumped hurdles in the halls and jogged around the building to get in shape. They worked hard and got positive results as this year was a winning one. The season started off with five indoor meets, which was a new experience for the team. Placing 4th. in the Richmond Relays was just the beginning as the team went on to place in other meets such as the Tecumseh Invitational - 1st., the Dayton Relays - 3rd., the Wayne Relays - 2nd., the Miami Relays and Invitational - 2nd., and the Fulton Relays 5th. The team made up of 23 determined young men found that hard work paid off when they won the Sectionals and then went on to become WOL Champs at the meet held at Evans Stadium at Springfield. 1 .
