Track preview Mounts look erward to better season By CHRISTINA CONRAD Sports Correspondent The Dallas Mountaineers are looking to field a strong track team this year. Coach Bill Kvashay hopes to improve the boys’ record of 14- 1 and the girls’ record of 8-6. Coach Kvashay stated, “Our goalis toimprove, get ready for districts, and take one meet at @ne Right now, we are finding a pantofreference and working from there.” aVorking hard is what they seem Wc doing according to Jeremy Van Orden who said, “Training is the hardest right now. We can't help the weather but we are still running hard.” And a lot of hard work is exactly what Coach Kvashay will be look- ing for from the following members of the team: Jeremy Van Orden, David Podehl, Brian Burd, Ryan Clemm, Matt Samuel, Eric Wil- liams, John Morris, Lenny Kelly, Eric Williams, Eric Lehman and Brian Jayne. The girls are also looking to i@rove on last year's perform- arice. The members expected to excel this year are Ann Smaka, Becky Yurko, Tammy Langdon, Andrea Shone, Monnica Matthews, Monique Matthews, Amy Merrill and Stephanie Dwinchick. Andrea Shone commented on the girls’ season this year. “Well, it's hard in the beginning with trying to get back in shape and then it gets easier. The hardness increases again around districts when every one is trying to do well.” And do well is what Dallas should. They are going to be a force in the Wyoming Valley Conference this year. Some of the newcomers that should help them are f{resh- man Brad Barkett in the distance runs; sophomores Charlie Siglin po throwing events and Brian N5pell in the distance runs; and Seniors Eric Ursiak and Brian Miller in running sprints. Dallas is obviously geared up fro this season and ready to chal- lenge the other double A teams in the valley as well as at districts. Coach Kvashay commented, “It's really too early to tell how we are. We just want to keep improving and I think we will.” Despite possible blizzard condi- tions, Dallas should be able to get a good idea where they stand on March 26 with their home opener against Coughlin. Knights short on players, long on drive The Lake-Lehman track team seems to have two major goals this year according to Coach Ed Nark- iewicz. “We want to make it to good weather and to do well at dis- tricts.” : The weather is out of their con- trol, but doing well at districts is a possibility. Lehman has tradition- ally been a dark-horse in the Wyoming Valley Conference. To aid them in their quest for a good placement in districts are nine male returners and four fe- male returners. Last year the boys’ recordwas 5-11 and the girls 2-14. Still, this last year'steamm has more experience in the following ath- letes: Seniors Gary Masters and Rich Lamereaux in the shot-put, discus and javelin; Bob Ruggere in the hurdles and triple jump; Mark Shisson in the 800 and 1600 runs and Mike Burnaford in the middle distance runs and relays. Also, Coach Narkiewicz men- tioned Juniors Adam Powell, Fe- dor Welebob, Dan Wilson, and Sophomore Keith Martin. The female returners are Lau- ren Frederick in the long, triple and high jumps; Tammy Yetter in the hurdles; Nicole Hall in the shot- put, discus and javelin and Mich- elle Sanstrom in the hurdles. The Knights are battling bad weather as well as small numbers. Coach Narkiewicz commented, “I'm expecting a lot from everyone on the team because we have small numbers and many of the kids have to do three or four events. And I really mean that. There is no room for dead wood.” A member of the team echoed Coach Narkiewicz's comment. Freshman Jaci Race stated, “We have excellent coaches and a lot of individual talent, but we need more people.” Senior Mark Shisson added, “We will do well in the field events but we will be a little inexperienced on the track. We should stay competitve and hold our own.” And on the comment of holding their own, Junior Gary Cavill de- clared, “This is my first year, but I think we will do well in the confer- ence.” Likewise, Junior Dan Wilson stated, “We should be good. Alot of two or three sport athletes are on the team this year which will make us stronger.” If Lehman can overcome the obstacle of having few athletes in many events and battle the snow they should, hold their own. The first test will come at home on Thursday, March 26 against power house Berwick.

Coaches John and Jeris Baranowski’'s names are synonymous with excellence. And as the competition in the area gets better, Lehman hopes they will get stronger. And stronger is what the team should be this year with six re- turning letter winners. Lehman is returning from an 11-3 season with a disappointing loss in districts. Still, they are excited and ready to go at it again this year. Coach Jeris Baranowski firmly stated, “The team’s goal is to win districts. Last year was disappoint- ing for the boys and now they want the championship back.” And there is a strong chance they will get it back for they seem to be ahead of schedule this year. “Many boys, a good team core, played USVBA (United States Vol- ley Ball Association) this year. When they came to practice, they were in better shape and should benefit from the extra play”, com- mented coach Jeris Baranowski. A strong and key player in this season's fight for the district title is Dave Knapp. Coach Baranowski said, “Dave has worked very hard and he is possibly the strognest he has ever been.” Kanpp added, “Our passing game is good, our serving game is strong, and the offensive game is the best as it has been in years. Also, our net game is strong and we work well as a team.” When asked about the team weaknesses Dave replied, “I don't tRihk {Herd ard 166 any. ‘We're still learning but we are sure of ourselves. We're only getting bet- ter and if there are any weak- nesses, they are only little baisc things which can be corrected.” The Black Knights are going to SportsWeek Volleyball preview LAKE-LEHMAN VARSITY VOLLEYBALL - Kneeling, from left, Tim Norconk, Jarrod Baranowski, Paul Klemens, Mike Callahan, Jamie Welby.

And there is a good chance they will be loving it again this year. Mounts have big plans for this season Dallas volleyball coach Dave Jones has been busy preparing his team to meet some big goals.

At both high school camps - point plan, “Our goal is to win the league championship, playoffs, and districts and to go to states,” commented Coach Jones. With all of their letter winners from last year and eight seniors the team should have valued experience on their side.

Nevertheless, a positive attitude is with the team which Coach Jones commented on. “The attitude of the boys on the team is good.” !
