Both the boys and girls track teams, although made up largely of underclassmen, made great improvements over a year ago. As with a year ago, few seniors will be lost to graduation thus the underclassmen will provide a good nucleus for next year's squads. The boys, led by seniors Ed Naspinski and Jeff Williams and juniors Clint Crawford and Brett Bennett, finished the season with an unblemished 9-0 mark The boys thinclads registered wins over all 7 N.T.L. teams plus Loyalsock and Montrose to run their winning streak to 10 straight dual meets. In compiling the perfect season, the boys averaged over 100 points while yielding less than 50 points per meet. The Lady Rams paced by junior Janette Slabicki and sophomores Tamie Kipp and Deb Patrick improved to a 3-6 record registering wins over Montrose, Canton, and Sayre At the N.T.L Conference Meet, held at Hughesville High School under sunny spring skies, the boys were disappointed in finishing second to league champs Wellsboro. Steve and Ed Naspinski, Dave Howard, and B. J. Barrett teamed up to show the league why the 3200m relay is the Rams “bread and butter with a thrilling come from behind victory with an 8:28.50 clocking. The only other N.T.L. crown was captured by Brett Bennett in the discus with a heave of 125'0''. The girls claimed only one conference champion in Janette Slabicki's 800m title in a new school record of 2:26.63 which she has since broken. In addition, the following week Ed Naspinski copped District 4 honors in the 1600m run and Janette Slabicki won the girls 800m run qualifying both for the State Track Meet at Shippensburg University Other Rams bringing home ribbons from Williamsport were Dave Howard (4th-3200m run), Jeff Williams (6th-high jump), and Brett Bennett (4th-discus). Another highlight of the day came in the meets' last even as the Naspinski brothers teamed with Mike Mullican and Clint Crawford to set a new school record in the 1600m relay with a brisk time of 3:36.50.
