Seventh Eighth Grade Track l 9 d spikes track season How could you describe the swiftness of the members of the seventh and eighth grade track team? Quite easily, with such words as fast, quick, and blinding, to name just a few. Mason's super-fast, junior sprinters, led by Coach Donald Pence, literally flew down tracks consistently throughout the season. The abound- ing number of rimners that came out won their fair share of meets, plus a few extras just for fun. Most of the success of the team came from hard practice, which included exercise sessions of push-ups, sit-ups, and long periods of sprint- ing and long distance running. With this kind of potential in the early years of seventh and eighth grade, just think of what heights the ninth grade track teams of the future will reach! t ' we , , d 4 , 't' Y . lg ' '17-' . ,.,. ,:-323.22 A 1. allhfj .. gee, ' I I it A Y J fd. 1 i U ,M in ,JW I. f,7grrr,4IuY Y 1 I , T' , f' 4.nQa:.4, 4 Setting the pace for the long distance run, speed- sters Dennis Goodson and Bob Wareck sprint to the finish line, followed closely by Paul McClain and Mark McDonald.

Coach Gerald Eichman started his players practicing indoors and out, early in the season, Working on such points as batting, throwing, and game strategy. The team also scrimmaged among them- selves throughout the year, thus developing playing skills under game conditions. These energetic practices molded the boys into a high- spirited, talented, well-playing ball team. 112 John Danules charges to back up third baseman Tim Tynan on the catch.
