Aaking tracks What I will remember most about y year in track is the comradeship of l the athletes, all striving to reach leir goals. The only time an athlete ants and needs to refer to a low point ould be to learn from the mistakes you ight have made, but other than that tink positive. Athletics has done a 'eat deal for my life and my future :cause of the discipline, hard work, 1d dedication required to be successful anything a person sets out to do.', Billy Martin, 12 Our cross-country team won district ter a two year drought and went to ate for the first time. We had a strong lowing at district. Our 1, 2, 4, 5, 15 nish at district compares to our 1, 2, 3, 15 finish at district my freshman year. 'e progressed throughout the year with tree second place finishes fincluding gionalsl and two first place finishes. 'e had a strong sixth place finish at ate despite an injury and illness that ,agued the team. Top runners included res Walker Csophj, Jon Bode, Jim Fit- iugh Cjuniorsl, Chris Krupa, David axter and Tony Martinez lseniorsj. In ack, we hope to defeat Judson who will a strong as always in sprints. We really ive no one single strong event. lthough the distances and pole vault 'e consistent point-winners. Strong fniors include: Billy Martin ldiscusj, may Parker lpole vaultl, Tony Mar- nez and Chris Krupa tdistancel. These seniors had to show immense leadership as the team was very young. Next year's team will be strong. You could say this is a building year. When people think of athletics at Churchill, football, basket- ball, and volleyball always come to mind. The student body regularly at- tends the football, basketball, and volleyball games. They often tend to forget that Churchill's winning tradition is also carried on by the smaller sports such as tennis and swimming. For the first time this year I went to a swimming meet, a tennis match, and a soccer game. The concern of each member of the team for the other members was in- credible. These teams rely only on themselves for support and motivation. Tennis and swimming have a tremen- dous winning tradition. Given some time soccer will also join the Charger tradition. Tony Martinez, 12 The item I will remember most about the athletic year of 1983-84 is that in each race there is something to be learned. Also, that a person is to enjoy the good and learn to cope with the bad because if you stick to something it's bound to turn out good. My high point of 1983-84 was obtaining the national record of the 10,000 meter, 17 year old age group. I try to take my low points and channel them into positive aspects. Athletics have helped me to realize the necessity in self-discipline in order to succeed. While the desire to win must be found in the individualf' Kathy Smith, 12 The part of the athletic year I will remember the most is being a member of the girls cross-country team. The low point of that experience was the fact that I didn't like distance running or the pain involved with the miles of prac- tices. The high point of all this was that I earned a varsity spot on the team and a varsity letter. Considering I didn't even think I could last the whole season, I never even dreamed of being one of the seven varsity runners, not to mention lettering by being the fourth Churchill runner to cross the finish line at the district meet. Finishing my first cross- country season alive was an achieve- ment in itself.
