Successful season for WHS girls' frack team

By MIKE HENNEN Wawasee High School girls' track, under the direction of Dave Morris, is running well with the sectional just around the corner. Morris, in his second year as girls’ track coach, has guided the squad to an overall record of 8-4. In the Northern Lakes Conference. the Warrior girls finished third in the conference in total points accumulated by individual meet and conference points. They placed fourth in the actual NLC meet. Coach Morris thought the team would place better than it did, but he was not expecting the crop of injuries that had a detrimental effect on the squad. Explained Morris, “Despite our injuries we did rather well. We had losses to Penn, Elkhart Central, Rochester and Warsaw. But all of these meets were close, and I suspect that without the injuries we would have done much better.” A unique characteristic to the winning ways of this year’s team was the fine group of freshman talent available to Morris. "Tonda Yeager, a freshman, set a school record in the mile run in the first meet of the year," noted Morris. The previous record had been 6:10 and two meets after the initial meet, Yeager broke the record again with a time of 5:44. Morris stated that Yeager may not run in the sectional due to a leg injury

diagnosed as calcium deposits in the calf muscle. Another key member lost to injury was Carol Meier, who suffered a back injury. She had previously run the 100, long jump, and the 440 and 880 medley relay teams. Morris cited her loss as crucial in the losses to Warsaw and Rochester. Another outstanding participant this year was senior, Kathy Bice. Bice competed in the 220 and 440. She qualified for the sectional in the 220 but was two meets short for qualifying in the 440.”" Another freshman, Stacy Wall, "Has run real strong all year,” stated Morris. She runs the 440 and anchors the 880 medley relay team. Sophomore Lonnie Black is seen by Morris as having “a good chance to win the sectional” in the shot putting event Pat Greene, a junior, also qualified for the sectional in the softball throw while freshman Sandy Kortenber and Kelly Landon also landed spots in the sectional meet. Kortenber will compete in the long jump and 220 event and Landon will run as a member of the 880 medley relaysquad. With most of the points coming from the freshmen and sophomore girls, coupled with a good junior high group coming up to high school competition, next year may be the year for the Warrior girls to run away with it all.
