HE LOWELL TRACK AND FIELD
TEAM dared its final hurdle by
conquering rival MMtecr, Thurs-
day, May 11.
And if Lowell's expected defeat of the
undermanned squad of Galileo, yesterchy.
goes into the books- Lowell will have
sprinted to the finish of an undefeated season
in the AAA at 6-0.
Despite a perfect season, Lowell's long
list of injuries anJ a weak boys' varsity,
: causes them to limp along to the All-City
trials Wednesday, May 24 and finals Saturday,
May 27.
Tm morr concerned with the injuries
than in/thing," first year sprinters' couch
Andy Bcnx saw* ^Specifically those of key
runners, Matt ballon, Raymond Lie, Alywa
MeJIot, and Mike Dalton. Also which varsity
lunhers will actually show up, Mike
Wilson nnd the memtws n{ the varsity
•400m relay team."
At the McAtcvr meet, "everyone was
dedicated," sophomotc Tun Nguyen said,
"They were all going 110 percent m I he
meet, no matter whether they were hurl or
noL"
Nguyen's cohof« prc^d his utotenitjiit
accurate. They niver bioks -irride, whipping
McAtctr, ibdr toughest competition
in the le.i]*ue. Nguyen won the frosh/soph
800m in 2:11.76 nnd iioneol the favorirw
in that event going into All-City.
Tlte other fir*t« place fintahm for I owell
were the -UfOni relay lea in (46.1 Sf.frenhitwn

sophomore l-'eru* P-sciio in the JfiOm
As the frosh/soph team rounds the fin
turn toAll-City.it looks likely that the) also
wil] sprint across the home sttetch and take
the title-
M In frosti/toph we should win (lie 100,
200 and -lOOm rJccs, plc^ the two relays
[400m and 1600mI," Benz said. "Who specifically
will win those r.ices, il depends
who we decide will run what evenU. but
probably Mike Dahon, Huoy and Pham.
We should win the fioth/soph ch.i.,ipionship."
Tlie ijtrli' wjuad's hopes appear just as
promising.
"OasiiLuccroiindMyeshaKiitmanwill
dominate competition in All-City," junior
Tony Stubblebine said. "Thcyjtr Male: class
athletes. We should win every running
event in girls' because of standouts and
depth."
' Luccfo and Kii'tman showed their
dominance, winning two events each.it the
McAteer meet. Luc em WM the iftOOtn in
5:28.64. and ihr 3200m in 11:44.96.
