Varsity runs the limit, set best times eve Boys shine The field and track competition at Clark, as it is at many other Northside Schools, is often underrated, and at times justifiably so. Track is a sport that is not taken seriously at Clark because it is mainly us- ed by athletes in the off-season of their main sport. lt is a means of keeping their bodies and minds in the best condition. Although there are several talented athletes in several events, the Cougars have riot been able to establish a winning record for track. The boy's varsity season got off to a slow start, and Clark's competitiveness seemed to drop. But near the middle of the season things started to pick up. The relay team led by Alan Drum and Larry Anthis began to move up in place as the season progress- ed. The strength of runners like David Lewis in the 100 yard dash also helped the teams standings. Julie Todd Juniors Joe Molinar and David Lewis discuss events at the track meet. fig Q1 U':- Q, r... ...L L 1. .ls A -f 'K it 5 V-un... A , - v- V W ,-74,?-u-.svv - dr, '-W, i j --Y-Ffa C - TE. Asif.

Track runs into problems at finish Stretch, Stretch! , was that the cry? Oh, the pain! No, this is not a dance team practice, but a workout of the Clark varsity track team. With long hours of practice and grueling training sessions, the girls soon got into good condition. Track is very much the individual sport. You run by yourself and for yourself. You are your own source of comfort and your own source of drive and determination. Only you know your limits and capabilities and how far you can take your talents. The girls track team proved that this year. They did well at the beginning of the sea- son, but slacked off after spring break. But the team made a fine showing at an N.E.l.S.D. meet right before spring break. The outstanding achievers in that meet were Karen Engalhardt, with a third in the shot put, Donna Jung with a 6th in triple jump, and Shannon Kelley with a llth in the two mile run. Another team of Shel- ley Hunsicker, Rena Sardo, Cindy Hunt and Carolyn White, placed fifth in the 880 relay. All of these girls did a fine job this year, and worked hard to place where they did which was a great, fourth in district. Donna Jung stretches to reach the waiting hand of Barbara Mazaetti and make a perfect handoff to vic- tory. Barefooted Shelley Hunaicker throws up her arms and hurls herself with great force over the bar. 110 GlrI's Va tyT k
