The weather wasn't too fav- orable for track. In fact, there were only a few warm days. Half the time we had to run when it was really cold. We almost froze to death during meets, be- cause you might as well say we were practically running in our underwear. It wasn't so bad at practicesg we ran in our sweats then. The first weeks of practice were the toughest. We ended up walking around stiff as boards. Even winter sports didn't keep us in shape long enough to escape sore muscles. Track is mainly an individual sport. It is up to each of us to go through our training routine, but Coach Speer was always there to help us get down our technique and improve ourselves. There is a lot more to it than just running, too. Timing on hand-offs, starts, and getting the steps down for the long jump, high jump, pole vault, and hur- dles are just a few of the things that have to be practiced. Besides dual meets, we par- ticipated in invitationals. There was a lot of competition, and they brought out the best in us as a team . ii? A 7' i ,L . 'I IZIJI ..
