Chiefs Start Running Wild Congratulations, is what was heard most of the time from Coach Curt Meek. The girls' and boys' track teams specialized in their own individual areas as a team. The boys seemed to dominate the field events with strong shows in the shot put, high jump, long jump, and occasionally the pole vault. While the girls were just the opposite with weak shows in field events, they made up for it in the running.
