Although they only competed in one dual meet, which they lost, they were filled with enthusiasm and spirit. However, the team did compete in the Middlesev- county Relays at Lawrenceville. They also competec in the State Group Meet at Princeton. There were only two seniors on this year's team Ken LaVerne was the shot-putter. He threw the shot a distance of 49'5 , which was only 8 off the schoo record. The other senior was Frank Malecki, who also did a fine job for the team. Next year with four underclassmen returning, the future of the winter track program at S.P.H.S. looki great.
