Rebuilding Team Topples Records, The trackmen of Walter Johnson rounded out 1962 with another suc- cessful' dash down Cinder Lane. School records in the broad jump, high hurdles, quarter-mile, and mile fell during a rebuilding season that saw the Spartans plugging the gaps left in the 1961 championship Green Squad. Coach James Kline's sparkling spikemen ran through their second successive undefeated dual meet sea- son. They trounced Suitland 79-53, Richard Montgomery 70-47, and Good Counsel 75-25, while placing second in each of two inter-school triangular meets. Rounding out the season, the lappers and weightmen combined for a fourth place finish and two indivi- dual championships in the coveted Northwood Invitational and a respect- able sixth slot in the Maryland State Track and Field Final at Frederick, where over twenty schools vied for high honors. route to victory over Good Pablo D1-Obney vaults 3 10W hurdle gn Determined Rod Watkins clears the last hurdle and opens a final Counsel, sprint as he sets his eyes on the finish of the 180 yard low hurdles I 962 RECORD WJ Opponent 70 Richard Montgomery . . . 77 W Northwood .......

The Varsity Baseball squad, suit- ing up seven juniors in the starting lineup, displayed unerring skill but lacked the polish that only experience can acquire. Off to a slow start, the diamondmen jelled late in the season, running up a six win and eight loss record under the direction of Coach George Thompson. In defeating the Montgomery Coun- ty leader, Wheaton, twice, the Spar- tan nine rammed the League stand- ings into confusion and revenged an earlier football defeat, while a split with neighbor B-CC intensified the growing Spartan-Baron rivalry. The Baby Baseball Spartan, in fighting through a 12- game schedule in true Spartan fashion emerged with seven wins and five losses against County Junior Varsity competition. A strong infield and hard-throwing pitching staff led the JV to a season laurel-laden for the Big Train. Balderson, P. Ford, B. Griffiths, third: Mr. Stavaski, Kinney, A. U I M. Skoglund, J.
