A symbol of the school's prowess in track is exhibited in the school lobby. Once again St. joe's Varsity Spring Track team is dominating the county track scene. Seeking the County Championships for the third consecutive year, it looks like the balance needed to win is present. The squad is particularly strong in the distance events. The 4 mile relay team Qohn Duffy, Andy Kelly, Keith Cunningham, and Tim Turnerj recently won the event in the Providence, Rhode Island, Knights of Columbus Invitational. Perhaps the most sensa- tional relay team ever to attend the school is the shuttle hurdle relay team. The group put together a time just fractions off the national record. Coach John Mitsopoulos is confident his hurdlers will be able to overcome the mark before the season ends. Greg Smith and Dave Nehila battle for the lead with C.BA opponent.
