Fttile the meets and other teams seem to keep getting bigger and bigger, the tiny contingent of Laurel Voca- tional School track and field athletes just keep showing up to do their thing. And as in the past. they did it,. and did it well again last Wednesday at the inau- gural Waterloo County Be- candary school meet at.Cen- tennial Stadium. . Faced with the prospect of going up against not only other Win City athletes as they had done in the past, but also South Waterloo ath- letes as welldn the new com- bined format, Laurel showed once again that you don't have to be big in numbers to be in spirit and heart. . Breezing to victory in the junior boys 400 metres at last week's Waterloo County high school track meet, Laurel's Chris Rowe doesn't look a bit over- exerted. Rowe also had a first in the triple jump and second in the 200.

"My kids ran better than they ever had yet didn‘t get as many firsts." -- - Indicative. of Car- miehael's statement was the fact that of Lquml's' 13 athletes, 10 finished in the top six in their events; and seven of those qualified for the Central Western Ontario meet in Brantford tomor- row. The fine performances were reflected in the tact that 10 Laurel school re- cords were broken. Because they field only a boys squad, Laurel is never a factor in the over-all point standings, but.they finished 1895 Small dontingent, big hearts wettuntong "uera_thutts Pacing the LVS senior boys mm were Mike Brown, Clive turniltoi, Kevin Boan. Jeff Foster and Joe Worrell, all rated by Carmichael as the heart of. the school‘s squad as major contributors to the athletic prggram. Bonn recorded personal bests ln all three of his in- dividual events, placing ae- cond.in the 100 and 200 metres and third in the we. “This is only the second year that Kevin has been competing, but he has really worked hard to improve." said Carmichael. "His strength is his acceleration, withttimetrestogointhe 100 final he looked right out of it, but then just turned it on. Hamilton also recorded personal bests in two of his three distance events, fin- ishing second in the 2000. metre steeplechase and third in the 1,500 and 3,000 metres; Although qualifying in all three for CWOSSA. Hamilton will run only the steeplechase and 3.000 in Brantford according to his coach. "it's Just too much of a strain in a oneday meet to run all three." said Car- michael. “We're confident Clive will reach alMhitario again this year. he/s a very' dedicated athlete with a great deal of natural ability and what is encouraging is that his times this year are ahead of this point last sea- son. Brown recorded personal bests by five seconds in the 1.500 finishing second and by two seconds in the 800. where he was also runner- up. _ _ "Mike had a very me- diocre start, the first year he wouldn't even come out and when he did I think he was about a 6:01 1,500 metres." said Carmichael. “But since then he's showed a great deal of desire. the second year he got his time down to about 4:50 and now ics about 4:08. He puts in a lot of work. he's extremely dedicated and what's most important. he likes to run." Foster also qualified for CWOSSA with a fifth in the 400 metres. _as did the 4x100 relay team of Joe Worrell, Morris Vassell. Chris Rowe Mike Brown of Laurel manoeuvres into position behind Lloyd Schmidt of Pres- ton and Gord Hague' of WCl in the early stages of the senior 1,500 metres Wednesday. Brown. complimented by coach Gaye Carmichael as having a greatdeal of desire. eventually finished second behind Schmidt, recording a Borsonal best by five secongs_. Rowe was probably the in- dividual Star of the meet as far as Laurel _was con- cerned, taking a first and personal best in the junior 400, first in triple jump and second in 200, where he also recorded his best time. Vas- sell competed in the 400, 800 and 1,500 in junior, finishing fourth in the 800 to go CWOSSA. (both juniors) and gléhor- man Boan finishing third. Other notable Laurel ef- forts were turned in by jun- ior Albert Jamieson who came fifth in the junior ja- velin and recorded a per- sonal best in the 1.500. mid- get Junior Lewis who'was sixth in javelin. and midget John Wilson, who knocked 40 seconds of his personal best in finishing sixth in the 3.000 metres.
